$200 - 4 Frame Nucleus Colony
High quality nucs at a great price
This nuc begins with a queen cell raised in the McComBees Apiaries cell-builder colony or through a graft from the originating colony. A nuc is released for purchase only after the queen is successfully mated and has matured for at least 21 days or entered her second brood cycle.
A 4 Frame Spring/Summer Nuc consists of:
2-1/2 Frames of Brood in Various Stages
Three/Four frames of Bees
Marked IQBA Queen
Before pickup, the colony is transferred into a reusable five-frame corrugated plastic box. Under normal conditions, these nucs expand quickly and typically fill two deep brood boxes within 4–6 weeks. Availability generally runs from late May through mid-October.
Pre-ordering is strongly recommended, as early-season quantities are limited.
