Unfortunately all nucleus colonies for the 2026 season have now been sold or reserved. Colonies will next be available in 2027. These will be available on national, commercial or langstroth Hoffman brood frames. The cost of each nuc includes the frames with brood, food, bees and a laying queen. At least 3 frames will contain brood. All queens have been raised in the Chilterns from local stock and are adapted to the climatic conditions of the area. All queens are marked with the colour indicating year of birth (white for 2026). Queens are not clipped unless specifically requested, which can be performed for an additional £3.
