Our 6 frame 14x12 nucs are all genuine UK open mated bees. Regionally adapted, perfect for South East England or the rest of the UK. We pride ourselves on making our own UK bees and queens. Not made from imports.
Our Kent Bees nucs are produced at our Kent nuc site surrounded by open meadow, woodland, and a nature reserve making it the perfect spot for our Kent breeding nursery.
This is our 6 frame correx nuc version. Bees come in a correx travel nuc [correx box not pictured]. Bees should be transferred to a proper hive when you get them home or asap. If you prefer to pay £40 more you can buy our Payne’s Poly Nuc Version.
All frames are good quality wired frames.
Our Spring nucs are genuinely over wintered so are ready for collection from April. There will be a minimum of 3 frames of brood and 1 frame of stores. Everything that a colony needs to thrive.
What to expect from your nuc?
Bees - 6 frames will be covered with bees
Brood - at least 3 frames will have brood in all stages, normally more
Stores - at least 1 frame of stores, normally more.
Queen - marked and laying nicely.
Healthy - No signs of disease & low varroa mite level
Varroa treated with oxalic acid sublimation in December
Calmness - No signs of aggression while we inspect the colony.
