Kutik's Deep Nucleus Colony 2024
A nucleus is 5 drawn-out comb frames in a temporary box with resources (pollen/nectar, honey), capped and uncapped brood, a laying accepted queen, and approximately 15,000 + worker bees. Kutik’s Nucs and Queens produces out of Oxford, New York, and overwinters in South Carolina. This is the best option for beginners. VHS - Varroa Hygienic Specific, hybrid breed.
We start taking in orders in December and typically expect them to come in throughout April, but this depends on the course of the unpredictable Appalachian spring.
IN-STORE PICKUP ONLY - delivery NOT available. Due to this being a live animal purchase and to ensure the bees find themselves a home, refunds on Nuc packages are NOT available.
When you place an order, we will ESTIMATE shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.
