You probably want to wait order one with a deposit and collect next spring would be my advice.

I appreciate the advice , thank you , was just wondering if anyone had any still around , as I have a few spare hives that I could overwinter them in .

There are I do have nucs ,but you will find most good suppliers would advise the same I’m sure.
You wouldn’t want to put nucs into hives this time of year also .
Get them ordered for next spring when they have wintered and expanding good luck .

Good point.

a good price

That's one advantage of buying now: price for over-wintered nucs is likely to be higher. Advantage of buying in spring: someone else will risk a winter loss.

I have built out the spare hives with kingspan to 6 frame capacity, so much like a nuc if not a bit warmer due to the thicker walls the poly hive has .

Pricing if you were to sell any ?

That’s one of the reasons I asked this, as it’s end of season, maybe someone might have had a few nuc sized colony’s that were surplus to requirements.

Having got a nuc fed and treated it’s pretty good to go for winter now. People have them to sell on at a better price in the spring with little or no further maintenance

are you a member of Swansea and district BKA? I'm sure I heard someone there was trying to offload a nuc a few weeks ago.

I'd sell in spring at £250 to get max. return, but a hobby beekeeper who wants to offload now is a better bet at a better price; suggest you follow JBM's lead.

I completely agree with you mate .

Depends when you sent it - the OP has not been around since 7th October so if he hasn't got push notification set then he might not have received your PM.
