I am in a fortunate position to have suffered no winter losses, as such, I have two overwintered nucleus colony's available for sale. These were splits made last summer from my best colony, the bees themselves are calm and pleasant to work with.

They are both in Maisemoore national poly nuc boxes (bought new last summer) and all frames in the colony are less than 2 years old, I am happy to include the nuc box with the sale of the colony if required.

I am located in South Derby, but am happy to deliver them if you are not too far away.

Cost wise, is £190 fair for an overwintered colony supplied in correx? If you would like the nearly new poly nuc too, £240

Thanks
Daniel
 
Don't speak to soon as it will bite you in the bum.

At some stage during one's stewardship it will occur for one reason or another.
 
Hi All, just an update. One nuc is off to their new home today and one is still available.

I forgot to mention, both of these nucs (as well as my other hives) were all inspected by the bee base/national bee unit inspector before winter and received a clean bill of health.

hi is this still available?
 
If it helps tickle any interest I inspected this nuc today, it is packed with bee's, has 5 frames of brood in all stages and one of stores.

I'm happy to reduce the price, these girls really need to get into a larger hive as soon as possible and I simply don't have the room here.

Thanks
Daniel

Hi, yes both nucs went to new homes a while ago. I may have another one available soon with a 2022 queen. I'm just waiting to confirm the queen has successfully mated before saying it is available. If you are interested I can inspect it tomorrow and give an update on the egg situation?
