We offer quality 5 frame nucs that are available for pickup the end of March through early April in NW Florida.

 Each nuc will have a 2023 proven laying, young queen grafted from proven stock.  They are grafted off the local survivor stock. Each nuc consists of 5 frames of brood/pollen/honey.  A 50% deposit is required to secure your order. No frame exchange.

We start splitting our hives in late-february and put these nucs together at that time. We attempt to have a 4 year frame rotation within our broodnests.  The benefit for our customers is that the majority of the combs being placed into the 5 frame nucs are 4 years old and newer. (4 frames are drawn comb and 1 will be foundation which is typically a drawn comb full of sealed brood/honey by the time the customer receives the nuc). A ripe queen cell from our local stock is placed into the nuc 24-48 hours after splitting.  Before the customers receives their nuc/s, we will have confirmed several times that the nuc is queen-right and has a suitable laying pattern.
