2026 National 5 Frame Nuc

Description

Start or strengthen your apiary with a healthy, well-established nucleus colony. This 5-frame Nuc is headed by a 2026 queen, selected for strong laying performance, calm temperament, and reliable build-up through the season. These Nucs are overstock from our own increases and are exactly what we would be using on our bee farm.

What’s included:

• 5 British National Standard frames
• A 2026-laying queen selected from our own stock and proven for bee farming
• Frames of brood in all stages (eggs, larvae, sealed brood)
• Adequate food stores (honey and pollen)
• A strong population of worker bees
• Correx travel box

Quality Assurance
Every Nuc is inspected prior to dispatch by DASH-accredited beekeeper Matthew Ingram, ensuring high standards of colony health, brood quality, and overall condition. With nearly 10 years experience of beekeeping and many of those as a commercial beekeeper both in the UK and working in Australia we’re confident in our Nucs being an ideal starter or booster for you this season.

What you need to know?

• This is our first year selling Nucs and while many suppliers post them out that isn’t something we are able to do this year. They are collection only From B78 2ES
• The Nucs will be ready from early June – weather dependent but we will be in touch to confirm a collection date two weeks ahead
• You will need a hive ready to transfer these nucs into as they will be very full
• The queen will be a 2026 marked queen
