Seib's Hoosier Honey

Our nucs are $185 this year.  They include 5 frames; one laying queen, three frames of brood, one frame of honey and one frame built out for the queen to lay in.

To place an order for our nucs, you'll need to complete the form to the right.  If you wish more than one, put the number in the additional requests field. 

More Information

1. You'll need to bring the hive equipment that you'll be keeping your bees in.  i.e. bottom board, inner cover, top cover, and the additional frames to fill out your hive body.  If you have an 8 frame, you'll need to bring 3 additional frames.  If you have a 10 frame, you'll need to bring 5 additional frames.
2. You'll need protective gear.  Bring whatever you wear when you work with your bees.  i.e. hat, veil and gloves or a full suit or a jacket suit.  We go through the nuc with you showing you the queen, her laying pattern and the number of bees as we transfer them to your equipment.  So the best time to pick up your bees is the evening between 6:30 - 7:30 pm.
   
3. You'll need to bring a ratchet strap or something that will keep your hive together.  We transfer the frames to your hive and then we'll let the bees settle down before we close them up.  We will provide a screen to close the front entrance.
