Planning for 2023?  Order now and get ahead of the swarm!

These 4 frame Nucs come with 10,000 bees and a mated queen.  All nucs must be paid for in advance and are non-refundable.  Pick up date will be emailed to you in advance.  For any questions, call 519-465-3378.

*NEW THIS YEAR:  Nucs come EITHER in an plastic box OR a wooden box ($10 deposit included and refunded if returned in good condition).  You can also keep the box and use it as a swarm trap.

*Note for when you pick up your bees:

- transport is the responsibility of the new happy owner of the bees 
- bring your protective clothing
- it's best to pick them up when it is still cool (morning), or 15 minutes before dark. (night transport is the best)
- the optimal transport is the back of a pickup, although bees can be transported by car at your own risk
-  It is up to you as the new owner of the bees to decide how best to move your bees.
- for car transport you may wish to bring a sheet or netting to cover the bees
- we are not responsible for bees that get over heated once they leave our care
- all bees sold are in need of larger living quarters right away. Nucs will need to be installed into waiting 10 frame equipment. 
- many recommend feeding nucs especially if they are being installed on un-drawn (new) foundation (Check out Fonda Bee in 1kg or 2.5kg on this site or get your sugar syrup ready!).

**We do not ship bees.  Pick up in Wellesley only.
