5 Frame Deep Italian NUCs are available for reservation for the 2021. We have two estimated pickup dates. Queens are NOT marked.

First pickup is estimated to be available in mid-April. Supplier is Kutik’s out of South Carolina/New York.

Second pickup is estimated to be available in mid-May. Supplier is an experienced Virginia-based beekeeper. Bees are raised the entire year in Virginia.

NUCs require time and proper weather for build up and we cannot control these factors.

NUCs are available local pick up only. The NUC will be comprised of five (5) deep frames with a balance of developing brood, honey, and pollen, plus of course, the bees and one mated Queen. At least four (4) frames will have drawn comb. The nucs will come in either a plastic Pro NUC container (no equipment or frame exchange required).

All nucs are state inspected. Health certificates are available upon request.

The pick up location in the Scottsville area TBD.
