A NUCLEUS HIVE IS A STARTER HIVE.
A laying queen on 5 Frames, with brood and honey.
These are headed by a JB Home bred Queen.
All queens are open mated and handle well under most conditions.
It has all the parts that a colony of bees needs to grow into a fully functioning beehive that is able to sustain itself.
The nucleus hive will come with a mated queen who is actively laying eggs, 4-5 frames with fully developed honeycomb, around 4-6,000 adult bees, enough honey to survive transportation to the new beekeeper and lots of bee eggs and larvae that will hatch within the next few weeks.
These are headed by a JB Home bred Queen.
These are bred from survivor stock over several generations and show a degree of varroa resistance.
These bees are selected and bred for VSH and other Varroa resistant Traits.
Although we cannot guarantee survivability these have been bred from untreated colonies dating back to 2012. All queens are open mated and handle well under most conditions. We select for prolific, non runny bees that produce a surplus.
