Our Langstroth Nucleus Colonies

Overwintered Buckfast Langstroth Nucs

Our overwintered nucs are established colonies headed by queens from the previous season. Having successfully come through winter together, these colonies are ready to develop as spring conditions improve.

Overwintered nucs are a popular choice for beekeepers looking for an established colony at the beginning of the season.

Spring-Produced Buckfast Langstroth Nucs

Our spring-produced nucs are built up during the current beekeeping season, with a young Buckfast queen and a developing colony.

They offer another excellent option for both new and experienced beekeepers, with availability determined by seasonal conditions and colony development.

Suitable for Langstroth & Flow Hives

Our Langstroth nucs are supplied on five Langstroth frames, making them suitable for:

• Standard Langstroth beehives

• Langstroth-format Flow Hive brood boxes

• ANEL Langstroth hives

• Other compatible Langstroth hive systems

If you're unsure which frame format your hive requires, please contact us before ordering.
