Each 5-frame Nuc will will have a 2026 mated laying queen with comb and multiple brood frames in various stages of development and a food frame. All the brood will be from your queen and ready to go straight into a full size hive!

We will have Carniolan queens primarily. We may have some limited Italian queens available but are not certain how many at this time. If you are interested in Italians, give us a comment and we will put you on the list. These will be given out on a first-come-first-served basis.

The bees will be treated multiple times before you receive them. Traits we encourage are honey production, winter hardiness, good hygiene and gentleness.

We hope to have them available some time in April depending on the weather. Pick up depends on certain variables and we will keep in touch with tentative times and let you know as soon as possible about pick-up.

We are here to offer support and answer questions as you move along on your Beekeeping journey.

​​​You can put your queen preference in the NOTES section on the CART page, when ordering if you'd like and we will do our best to accommodate your request. The earlier you order, the easier it will be for us to make sure you get what you are looking for. Be assured both kinds do very well and we have both these bees for our commercial operation, having great success with them. ​

​

​​Availability depends on many factors so we will not be able to give an exact pick-up date yet. We will let you know as we know, an exact date and time. 

​

We DO NOT guarantee that every NUC will survive long-term or become a high producer. 

​

We DO NOT ship our Nucs through the mail so pick up at our BENTON CITY, WA (off Badger Road) or BATTLE GROUND, WA (Joyful Honey and Beekeeping Supplies) locations will be necessary.
