Nuc Beehive of Bees

Polystyrene six frame nuc with two frames of bees. The queen is less than a year old. Hi, my name is Joe, phone 07761730885. I have a nuc of bees for sale. If they don't survive the twelve months bring the box back and I will put more bees in it. Just a note on pricing. Start with the price of the nuc at £270, then raise that price by £10 a fortnight from the first of February to the first of April, then lower by £10 a week from the middle of May until the new queens are ready. When the new queens are ready, we are back to £270 which will stay constant until the first of February. For an additional brood box on top, add £70, the additional brood box option is from August to the first of May. If you are a new beekeeper and getting your box in June, you can watch me reduce the nuc back down to a single six frame box and with the surplus frames see me arrange them in such a manner that will produce another nuc for me. The following is just for fun and should not be taken as an endorsement for my nuc. I included a video (24/5/22) of my sister handling the bees with no gloves or veil. When I inspect the hive I bring along a couple of nuc boxes to set the frames in temporarily. She is just going through the frames of the top box, looking for the queen (but the queen was in the bottom box which I opened next when I set the camera down). When I handle the bees I get suited up like a space man and in fact the next day I annoyed a different hive wholesale. If you can’t see the video above, you can see it on youtube under the heading “Ballinderry Bees”. Just a note on importing bees. The management system we use is called; ”Keeping bees with a smile”. A bee hazard can be imported into Ireland by a live bee which may change our management system to “Keeping bees is hard work". If you have made it this far, well, thanks now.
