Each nucleus colony comes equipped with a 2026 queen, several frames of brood, as well as plenty of resources to grow, thrive, and produce delicious honey. Our bees are a special blend of Italian and Carniolan, providing a unique balance of gentleness and productivity.

All of our nucs are made from our bees and our genetics. We introduce queen cells and allow the newly mated queen to lay for roughly 3 weeks before selling. This practice gives the colony plenty of time to establish a rhythm as well as allows us to gauge the performance of the queens before selling.
