NUCS
Nucleus hives, or nucs, come with a marked, laying queen queen and 5 deep frames with a combination of brood, nectar, pollen and some space for expansion. Because there is brood present and young bees emerging, nucs build up more quickly than packages and will need to be transferred into full size deep hive box.
Starter Hive Packages
Our quality starter hive packages come with 3lb of bees and a marked, mated queen to get your new hive started with success.
Starter packages are intended for immediate placement in a permanent hive box. For beginner beekeepers, we recommend starting with 2 packages for optimal success.
