Maryland Nucleus Colonies & Queens:
Most people purchase bees in nucleus colonies when they want to start
beekeeping. A nucleus colony (nuc) provides several advantages.
- Usually purchased from a local beekeeper, the bees are
adapted to your area.
- A miniature colony with bees, a laying queen, honey and
freshly stored pollen, a nuc quickly builds up the first year.
- Unlike packages, which ship in from the south with the
associated pests and problems like africanized bees and small hive
beetle, our nucs are built from tested Maryland stock.
- The five frames quickly transfer into your equipment,
creating less stress on the bees and the beekeeper.
- No expensive shipping charges. You pick up your hive in
Middletown, MD.
- If you have brand new equipment, we can install the nuc
directly into your hive at no extra charge.
