Buying Bees
Honey bees are living creatures and can be unpredictable in growth and development so please ensure that all preparations are in place before NUC collection (see list below). We understand spring/summer is a busy time of the year and we can hold your NUC(s) for a limited time if you are unable to collect on the specified day.
We would suggest preparing beehive equipment (floor, brood box, queen excluder, feeders and roofs etc) and your personal beekeeping equipment (bee suit, smoker and fuel, hive tools etc.) and a suitable location for your new colony to go. Our NUCs have 6 frame BS National frames, We would suggest using a BS National Hive for ease of transfer and uniformity.
If you are new to beekeeping, or looking to develop your basic knowledge, we would recommend joining one of our beginner beekeeping courses which are run by our very experienced beekeepers/Bee Farmers.
