At WB Honey Bees, everything we do is built on over 70 years of family beekeeping experience. Our nucs are produced with care, patience, and a focus on supplying healthy, well-established colonies that give beekeepers the best possible start. Whether you are starting your first hive or growing your apiary, our aim is to provide bees you can buy with confidence.
We believe good bees come from good breeding, good handling, and years of practical knowledge. That is why our approach is rooted in family experience passed down through generations, combined with a genuine respect for the bees and the craft.
A nucleus colony, or nuc, is a small but established honey bee colony created to help a beekeeper start or expand with greater confidence than buying a swarm or package bees. A good nuc gives you a working colony with brood, bees, food stores, and a laying queen already in place.
Our nucs are prepared to offer a strong foundation for the season, helping you get established more quickly and with less uncertainty.
Each nuc is carefully prepared to provide a healthy, developing colony suitable for transfer into your hive. Depending on the time of year and the type of nuc available, this may include:
Because bees are livestock and seasonal conditions vary, colony development can differ slightly depending on weather and timing. We only release nucs when we are satisfied they are progressing as they should.
