What Is a Nucleus Colony?

A nucleus colony (nuc) is a fully functioning mini-hive — the best way to start beekeeping. Unlike package bees, nucs come with everything already working: a laying queen the bees have accepted, drawn comb, brood in all stages, and food stores. Just transfer to your hive and watch them grow.

What's Included in Your 5-Frame Nuc:

• 5 deep frames of drawn comb

• Brood in all stages (eggs, larvae, capped)

• Honey and pollen stores

• One mated, laying queen (unmarked)

• Strong worker populatio

• Cardboard nuc box for transport

Why Nucs Beat Packages for Beginners:

• HIGHER SUCCESS RATE — Established colony, not starting from scratch

• 4-6 WEEK HEAD START — Queen already laying, comb already built

• LESS STRESS — Bees already bonded to their queen

• EASIER INSTALLATION — Just transfer frames, no shaking bees

• POSSIBLE FIRST-YEAR HONEY — Packages rarely produce year one

Best For: First-time beekeepers and anyone who wants the best chance of success.
