Your Gateway to Back Garden Beekeeping
Bee Nucs for Sale from Black Mountain Honey
Welcome to Black Mountain Honey, where our no-nonsense approach to bee nucs for sale extends beyond merely providing bees. We specialise in offering calm, gentle and prolific nucs of bees backed up by exceptional customer service. Our bee nucs for sale are specifically bred to ensure they remain calm on the combs and produce a bumper crop of delicious honey. Our primary goal is centred around cultivating the calmest and gentlest bees possible. We achieve this by breeding our UK mated queens using Pure Buckfast genetics, which are known for their superior genetics and traits, and we fall back on over 30 years of bee farming experience within our operation.
At Black Mountain Honey, our unwavering commitment to quality sets us apart in the beekeeping industry. We prioritise excellence in every aspect of our operations and our dedication to providing premium bee nucs for sale is evident in the meticulous care we take at every stage. When you choose Black Mountain Honey to buy bees, you can rest assured our colonies of bees are meticulously cared for, with all frames within our bee nucleus for sale, being less than 12 months old. We don’t sell nucs from our production colonies as a way of recycling dark, old and black frames (like many other suppliers).
We make our nucs within dedicated nucleus apiaries from brand new frames and foundation, ensuring you receive pristine and clean equipment to start your beekeeping adventure. Furthermore, our commitment to quality extends beyond the frames themselves. We go the extra mile by using nearly new Paynes poly nucs for transit, which is widely recognised as the best nuc in the market for transit.
Black Mountain Honey's Excellence and Quality in Bee Nucs for Sale
The bee nucs for sale are placed into the brand new poly nucs in the summer and overwinter in these boxes, before being sent in the Spring so they are always less than 12 months old upon delivery (2025 onwards). This ensures that your bee nucs arrive in optimal condition and ready to thrive in their new environment. Our emphasis on quality doesn't stop there; it resonates through the very heart of our colonies.
Choosing Black Mountain Honey means choosing a beekeeping experience founded on quality, reliability and a passion for nurturing thriving bee colonies. We take pride in delivering bee nucs for sale that not only meet but exceed the expectations of beekeepers at every level.

Top Reasons to Choose Black Mountain Honey when Looking for Bee Nucs for Sale
We use a selection of the very best Buckfast breeder queens, as we believe these result in F1 Buckfast queens with superior temperament and disease resistance. They also produce a lot of honey. All of our overwintered nucs for sale include F1 Buckfast queens mated within the United Kingdom.
F1 BUCKFAST QUEENS
We only let the nucleus colonies leave us once they are a strong unit of bees. They will have at least 3-4 frames of brood in all stages and at least 2 frames of stores. We will notify you of delivery one week before colony availability and send you complete tracking details for your colony as it passes through the post.
STRONG & HEALTHY HONEY BEES
We pride ourselves on our customer service and aftercare. We are here to provide advice and guidance to make your beekeeping journey smooth and successful. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We take great satisfaction in helping whenever you need it.
AFTERCARE ADVICE
Our F1 Buckfast bee nucs for sale are overwintered in Wales. They are treated for varroa mites in Autumn and Winter and fed to enable the bees to overwinter successfully. They are ready for delivery in April/May. We will contact customers in spring to arrange delivery.
VARROA TREATED NUCS
Our commitment to the highest-quality nucleus colonies, queens, and honey is the cornerstone of our beekeeping ethos. We take pride in crafting six frame bee nucs that reflect the excellence of our Welsh apiaries and the superior genetics of UK-mated Buckfast queens.
