Nucs are a 4-Frame Starter Colony in a cardboard nuc box with a mated Queen, complete with 4 deep frames of bees, along with brood, honey, and pollen.   Our nucs are made from our strong winter survivors in early spring. Install these frames immediately into waiting 10 frame equipment where they will continue to expand into a full hive. Strong, High Quality, & Healthy is what to expect from our BLB Honey Nucs. 

 SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU PICK UP YOUR BEES:

-Our nuc entrances are OPEN.  It is up the new owner of the bees to close or seal the entrances for transporting if preferred.  We do not close our nuc entrances during transport. The greatest risk to your bees during transport is over-heating. Bees that are closed in for too long with no ventilation can heat up and collapse within minutes. We are not responsible for bees that get over heated once they leave our care. 

-All bees sold are in need of larger living quarters right away. Nucs will need to be installed into waiting 10 frame equipment immediately- DO NOT leave bees in Nuc box longer than 24 hours as they need space to grow. 

-Bring your protective clothing, or arrive early to purchase it from our store.  Our store is always open during hive pick up dates. 

-The optimum transport is the back of a pickup truck, or on a utility trailer.  The bees can be restricted for car transport (at your own risk).  We strongly suggest not driving with live bees inside your vehicle, especially with new beekeepers who are not comfortable with bees yet.  For your safety, and other drivers safety please transport with pick up truck or a utility trailer.                                                   

-Ratchet tie down straps are needed to secure bees in your vehicle.       

-For car transport you must  bring a sheet or netting to cover the bees.   

-We recommend feeding nucs with sugar syrup and pollen patties, especially if being installed on new foundation with no drawn out comb (beeswax). This ensures they get working faster and have a "nectar" supplement in-house to speed production.  

-Any issues or concerns must be brought to our attention at BLB Honey within 48 hours of pick up.
