NUCLEUS COLONIES

We produce six frame Buckfast F1 and local mated, Welsh Black overwintered nucleus colonies. These are headed by a 2019 queen that is proven to have overwintered successfully. They are overwintered in North Wales and are of excellent temperament, with tremendous disease resistance.

All colonies are treated with Apiguard in August and Oxalic Acid (ApiBioxal) in December, to treat against varroa. If you wish to place an order for a nucleus colony, please drop us an email or use the chat form.

All nucs come in a Paynes 6 frame poly nuc which is yours to keep. This makes a great swarm trap and is useful for making splits later in the season.
