$225 - 4 Frame Overwintered Nuc Colony

Get a head start with a locally overwintered nuc

This nuc begins with a queen cell raised in the McComBees Apiaries cell-builder colony. Only colonies that successfully survive the long, wet, cold Northeast Indiana winter are offered for sale.

A 4 Frame Overwintered Nuc consists of:

Three Frames of Brood in Various Stages

Four frames of Bees

Marked IQBA Queen

Before pickup, the colony is transferred into a reusable five-frame corrugated plastic box. These overwintered nucs build rapidly and typically fill two deep brood boxes in 4–5 weeks. Splitting before the June honey flow may be necessary. Most nucs are ready for pickup by the second week of April.

Pre-ordering is highly recommended, as quantities are limited.
