2024- 5 Frame Nuc
We create nucs from our over-wintered stock for use in our own operation. We graft from Carniolan and Saskatraz Queens (open-mated primarily with Italian Hybrid/Carniolan/Saskatraz) with proven successful record of rearing colonies that survive our Northwest Indiana winters, are good honey producers with acceptable hygenic behaviors, and are gentle and calm on the comb. Nuc colonies include 3 frames of brood of all stages, 2 frames of resources, and a newly mated, well-laying queen. All will be treated with OAV for mites. Local pickup only.
All sales are final.
Nucs for pick up only - We do NOT ship Nucs.
Nucs will be ready for pick up in Valparaiso, Indiana in mid/late May.
Please select "Local delivery" option in cart when checking out.
