Description

 

5 FRAME POLY/CORFLUTE NUC (PRE-ORDER FOR SPRING)

Your Beehive is ready and now you need a colony of bees. Our Bees are grown directly on frames which are perfect for to be installed in Flow® Hive, Langstroth or Australian Beehives.

A NUC (Nucleus) is a smaller colony of honeybees that contains a mated laying queen bee with brood. This contains a handful of drones and a few thousand worker bees. These NUC’s (small beehives) are typically used as a temporary hold to allow the colony to grow larger and then be placed into a larger hive.

The popular economic choice is the 5 FRAME POLY/CORFLUTE NUC which securely holds 5 full-deep frames containing the colony. This small hive contains small ventilation holes aiding for not only the bees to breath but also the release of heat within the colony.

Our NUC’s are specifically grown from selected larger colonies and then divided (split) from good breeding stock. Each of these new colonies are then introduced to a newly mated queen from our renowned reputable Queen Bee stock. This provided the colony the desired characteristic we want being docile & calm, providing a good laying pattern and solid foraging qualities.

We predominantly specialise in breeding the Italian variant of the European Honeybee for nucleus. The reasons being:

  • Our Queen Bees have a very good reputation in delivering right characteristics for colonies 
  • They expand quickly when conditions are warmer. 
  • They tolerate the hotter Australian weather 
  • They travel further to forage which is good for finding food resource such as nectar and pollen. 
  • They have a calm temperament when bred using specific genetics.

WHAT DO YOU GET IN YOUR NUC?

  • A colony of honeybees with a newly mated Queen Bee. 
  • A few thousand worker bees with a sufficient number of drones. 
  • Queen laying with capped Brood present. 
  • 5 Full-deep Frames containing a combination of honey, pollen, brood (new babies) and some extra space to expand. 
  • Some Honey and pollen supplies in the cells. 
  • Poly NUC that is perfect to transport them. This can be reused if desired.
