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 London Bees nucs are produced in the outer suburbs of London directly surrounded by a nature reserve, woodland, allotment, several parks and hundreds of gardens making it the perfect spot for our 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 on the same day.
Our Spring nucs are made once a good number of drones are seen [normally April]. Then mating occurs and nucs are normally ready in May.
There will be a minimum of 3 frames of brood and 1 frame of stores. Everything that a colony needs to thrive. All frames are good quality wired frames.
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
