A great beekeeping season starts with great honeybees!
If you’re going to get started in beekeeping you need to start with great, locally adapted bees that were born and raised in our New Brunswick climate. You won’t find imported bees here.
Each 4 frame nuc comes with a locally mated laying queen, two frames of brood, one frame of food, and one frame of drawn comb to keep the girls busy while they await their permanent home.
Our nucs are supplied by local Beekeepers who meet the following criteria:
- Members in good standing with the New Brunswick Beekeepers Association (NBBA)
- Registered beekeepers with the Department of Agriculture
- Have been inspected within the last 12 months by the provincial apiarist with valid inspection documents
Our 4 Frame Nuc colonies are $250 per colony for the 2023 season.
Colonies will be ready to pick up in the month of June 2023 depending on Spring weather conditions.
The nucs will be housed in carboard nuc boxes with screened off entrances and extra ventilation on the top lids for transportation. They are secure for transport and can be driven in your vehicle to where you will be setting them up.
*Bees are guaranteed healthy, there is no implied or expressed warranty on any nucs once they leave the yard.
Pre-order your bees now for next season. Don’t wait, Nuc colonies sell out quick and you don’t want to find yourself without bees come Spring.
