Description:

These very strong nucs come with 5 frames of bees and includes a young proven BC queens and lots of brood. These nucs are produced in the Okanagan region, around Armstrong.

Our experience with Okanagan Honey Co has been one of nucs that exceed expectations. They come bursting with healthy brood, strong populations, and a well-proven BC queen. They are ready to expand rapidly and take advantage of our short productive season. We cannot recommend these nucs strongly enough for those who want nucs that are poised to rapidly grow for splits or honey.

The nuc box is the sturdy, ventilated Jester Nuc Box, and it is yours to keep.

How Pick-Up Works:

After reserving we will receive your order and contact information. As we get closer to the arrival date and get updates from our supplier, we will pass along those details to you and finalize pick-up dates / times. Typically we aim for pick-up during morning hours, so that the bees can be (1) safely sealed up early in the morning before they go out to forage, & (2) the bees do not have to spend too long inside of the nuc box, minimizing stress including chance of overheating.

Nucs do not need to be installed immediately. Nucs can be placed in the spot where they will eventually be hived into full equipment, and the nuc box opened and the bees allowed to fly. They will then orient to that location and will experience less stress and risk than if they are left sealed up. That said, it is always good to try to install a newly received nuc into a full hive within 2 days after receiving.

Reservations Include a $30 non refundable deposit  *

* This means that if you have to cancel your order, you will be refunded fully minus $30. This amount is considered your commitment fee. Please note that you must still give us at least 2 weeks notice of cancellation, or we may retain 50%-100% of your payment.
