Expand your hives by purchasing a 5 frame nuc! Why start your apiary with a nuc?Unlike a package, a nuc is basically an established hive. It consists of a growing brood nest, has drawn comb, stored honey and pollen, and most importantly a young laying queen has been accepted. You are buying a strong little power pack of bees, ready to explode into Spring.
Each nuc consists of four frames of brood in various stages, one frame being drawn out and food of honey and pollen.

Once the bees are in the customer’s hand, we cannot control the environment or management styles which could possibly cause the hive to die.Upon arrival, check and see if queen bee is alive and moving in her cage. If she is DEAD call the BeeHive Barn LLC ASAP. 609-395-7758.
If installing a nuc and the queen bee flies away the BeeHive Barn LLC WILL NOT replace.
It is not uncommon for a new nuc to abscond, which means once they are installed, they completely leave the hive and fly away. This is the customer’s loss and we cannot replace or refund nucs that die. There are too many variables and individual management styles and environmental stresses that are beyond our control.
