A good reply from the one from Dublin (or close to).
You will likely need to order in the not too disrtant future if you want a really early nuc -at least from a good reliable source. Ordered early from the likes of Hivemaker, Poly Hive, Beebreeder and others, you are likely to be well chuffed with the outcome.
Of course, a location might help. That might make a difference as to when best to start, as will the weather (of which we have little or no control), etc.
