HONEYBEES
 2025 Honeybee 5-Frame Nucs 
We had a limited amount for sale this year for $185 each.
These Honeybee Nucs are from our own honeybees, (not bees that are bought from somewhere else and resold).
If you ordered a nucleus hive from us:
Honeybees will be ready in the spring. Nucs will be ready approximately 1st week of May. We will notify you when ready for pick-up(by email)...please leave your phone# in the note/message section if you want a phone-call notification.  
 To keep our prices down, we ask for you to return(or exchange)the nuc-box.
 Thank you!


 

We have Shut-Down the Sale of Our HoneyBee Nucs.
Thank you for your interest.
