Each spring we make nucleus colonies (“nucs”) available to members of our local beekeeping community. Delivery is always weather-dependent, but typically nucs are ready mid-to-late May. These bees are carefully sourced from excellent apiaries that engage in beekeeping best practices. Spring queens (unmarked) are grafted from mid-state Vermont survivor stock.They are daughters of overwintered queens.
In May we also offer nucs of our own survivor stock. These nucs come from strong, hearty colonies that have lived through New England winters for multiple generations.The queens are established, open-mated, overwintered, young queens (marked) that were installed early in the preceding fall.
