Nucs

Queen grafting to create queens and nucs for sale is always a lot of work but very rewarding part of beekeeping. We created 40 grafts on March 10th that resulted in 38 queen cells. These were moved to mating nucs on March 20th for the queens to emerge and take their mating flights. We will have both queens and nucs available around April 12th. Reach out if you are interested in purchasing a queen or a nuc.
