Honeybees nucs colonies for sale - $1 (Radford)
QR Code Link to This Post
Most customers who want to start beekeeping or add a colony or two, start with nucleus colonies (nucs for short) in the spring just before the peak of our nectar flow which occurs in May.
Regardless of where you buy your bees, I urge you to have two or more colonies, and I can explain why during a phone conversation.
I also raise queens from my best queens, and through selective breeding I am trying to work toward a strain of bees that demonstrate innate resistance to varroa destructor mites. It’s a slow process, and the feral bees in the woods breeding with my virgin queens doesn’t help. But…
In 2025 about 1/3 of my colonies kept their mites low on their own without treatment, which is a little bit more than the year before. I think I’m making progress!
To hold spring nucs in your name only requires a small deposit. So if you like what you are reading, get on my list for spring nucs now, since I sell out every year, usually before March.

Feel free to text me to set up a phone conversation to answer any remaining questions you may have.
