These 5-Frame nucs come in a nucleus box (Pro-Nuc or WAX cardboard). Not only is this a great deal once you use these nuc boxes, but you'll also be hard-pressed to use any other type of nuc box.
The honey bees in these nucs are mite-resistant queen hybrids (Italian/ Carniolan) bred from Latshaw Breeder Queens located and overwintered in Ohio. Some of these breeder queens continue to be productive in year 5! And have done so with no treatments!

These will be available in 2025 for PICKUP PREFERED. We offer to ship but need to double box to ensure USPS personnel safety. We tried shipping these last year and had enough problems that we decided to cancel the shipping service for Nucs. We do still ship bee packages. Purchasing this product indicates you agree to all the terms and conditions as well as shipping and pickup information. We plan to have them ready for shipping and pickup mid-April weather dependent.
Shipping/ Pickup
If you do not pay for shipping, the order is for pickup in River Falls, WI. Details on the pickup date and location in RF will be delivered to you via email closer to the pickup date.
Shipping Guarantees
We do everything in our power to ensure when the bees leave us, and they stand the best chance to make it to your possession alive and with vigor. However, as soon as we hand them off to the shipper, we cannot guarantee how they are treated, weather, unforeseen acts or incidences, or the speed at which they get to you beyond any shipping guarantees backed by the shipper. We cannot guarantee the bees or queen if shipped, and we will do what we reasonably can in a case-by-case situation. These case-by-case situations are at the full description of us and are no guarantee to help in a case that results in dead bees or similar. Please reach out with your concerns or incidences, and we will see if we can help. By purchasing the product, you acknowledge you agree to these terms and our other terms located throughout our site and located in our footers.
