Nucs, or nucleus colonies, are small honey bee colonies created from larger colonies. The term refers both to the smaller size box and the colony of honeybees within it. The name is derived from the fact that a nuc hive is centered on a queen, the nucleus of the honey bee colony.

Please, call us at the end of May. 

When picking up your nuc you must have: a smoker, a bee suit, an adhesive tape
Note: some bees could escape from the box, it is important to not be accompanied by children or allergic persons. As soon as the Nuc is in your transport vehicle you become fully responsible for it and its honeybees.

FAQ

There are several reasons for this, the main reason is the cell size. Adjust the frames as tightly to each other as possible. Do not spread the frames evenly over the body. If there is a free space in the case, do not place there less frames than it should be. If you give them a free space (placing the frames at a distance of more than 1 3/8′ (35 mm) from each other), they will stretch the honeycomb between the frames.

The number of eggs laid by the uterus per day depends on the season and the provision of feed. In normal families, the uterus is placed at about 570 eggs per day at the end of March, after the exhibition of hives in April, from 400 to 1200, in May-1200-1800, in June-1200-1800, in July-800-1200, in August- 600-1000 and in September 500-1000 eggs per day. Warm weather in the spring and the arrival of fresh nectar and pollen sharply increase the egg-laying of the uterus. Cold weather reduces the laying of eggs.

The total number of brood in a good family under favorable conditions at the beginning of the main bribe reaches 67 thousand.

If you have purchased equipment that has already been used, it must be cleared of traces of mouse presence – just leave it in the rain until the smell disappears. Clear from the wax moth can be just turned the web (the bees do it will be difficult) and scrape all the cocoons. If the honeycomb is dry and fragile – the bees will fix it themselves. If they are dusty, the bees will clean them.
The real risk is foulbrood. If you got old honeycombs for brood, see if there are crusts from the dead larvae on the bottom of the cells – this will help in finding the American foulbrood. If there are crusts – it is necessary to take the threat seriously. Sometimes it’s easier to burn equipment. Even if you have not found crusts, there is always a risk that foulbrood will start.
