5 FRAME NUC (Nucleus Colony)
5 Deep Frame NUC (nucleus colony) of local Southern Ohio (Jackson & Gallia County) honeybees from our farm. These bees will have either an overwintered queen or will be queened with a local queen grafted from our personal yards.
Our NUC's will be vigerous and contain all stages of brood (4 frames) and 1 frame of food (Honey & Pollen). Queens will be of various genetics, many coming from feral colonies that have been trapped and used in our yards for over a decade. Our QUEENS are from proven local stock. Their mothers have produced at least 100 pounds of honey in a previous season, have proven to be gentle to work with, and exhibit natural mite resistance and hygenics. We have imported New World Carniolian Queens from Sue Cobey stock into our yards. Our NWC queens were purchased from Strachan Apiaries in Yuba City, California.
Two pickup times will be availiable. First will be late APRIL - EARLY MAY (weather depending) and 2nd will be after 2nd week in May. Please call Corey direct with any questions. (740)988-8860.
