Hi, I've this season sold 6 nucs with open mated queen's.
All black queen's and I've been letting the Queens lay 2 brood cycles before selling on, some on there second but the nucs have been bursting with nurse bee's.
All nucs have had 4frames of bias/capped brood and minimum 2 frames of honey/ pollen, and sold for 180 220 if they keep the nuc.. Is this the going rate?
Just a question
I've 3 colonys in single brood again open mated queen's which were started in 6 frame nucs they will be ready by the end of June, but I'm undecided how much to charge.
What are other beeks selling single brood on 8+ brood frames.
All three will be in a soft wood nats hive omf floor and solid crown board roof etc.
Your thoughts please.
I've had 100% Mating success up here on the Clee and it's been interesting to watch the transformation in the nucs from italian/bucks to lovely black bee's.
