5 Frame Nucs – Best of both worlds! Early nucs, and a local queen for the winter

- Early nucs for the flow - We are taking a unique approach to how our nucs are produced. In order to get them to you early, we will be started them with purchased Italian queens and have the nucs ready by April 24th. This is a much easier deadline to hit with purchased queens. With our Maryland weather, mating queens in the spring (and doing a good job) is tough to get done before mid May with any consistency.
- Local July replacement queens! As an optional add on, we are discounting our local, Carniolan queens to $15 for July Pickup. We highly recommend this option so you go into the winter with a locally adapted, young queen. This increases your overwintering success, and you hit the following spring with a well mated, young (under a year old) queen, ready to take full advantage of our early flow.
