Once Packages, Nucs or Queens
have been received by the customer
our responsibility is over!
We have no control what is done
with bee related items once out of our hands!
We take super care of
all bees and queens!!!
If anything needs replaced
the buyer pays half of all costs
to get another one.
We are not responsible for
Packages, Nucs or Queens
once out of our hands.
We get
them to the P.O.
or to the buyer and then
we have done our job!
You the beekeeper needs to find
training and education about honeybees
on your own! You need to learn
the steps and proceedures related to
queens and bees by yourself.
All bees and queens are
insured and you have
the proof if something seems
to be off.

We will ship queens in cages out
from Forest, OH
Due to time now this process below
is not being done.
Many persons are ordering
the entire process done for them.
They want to equipment everthing ready
so all they have to do is come and pick the
completed hive with the bees and queen in side
and all the equipment needed to work
their honeybees.
When I am done with this
packages been business
I will try to catch up on my
nuc preparation.
The weather now is
cold and nuc prep has hit a bump
in the road.
# 2 Frame Nuc - $100.00 ea,
# 3 Frame Nuc - $150.00 ea.
# 4 Frame Nuc - $200.00 ea,
# 5 Frame Nuc - $250.00 ea.
A Nuc
In most cases is all drawn combs
eggs, larva, celled brood,
honey added or other sweetner
plus a mated queen
with many extra workers added.
My nucs have the queens
in with the bees.
Persons getting nucs are often moving them
only 100 to 200 miles.
Many nucs that are trucked or mailed
are at a stand still in production.
Those nucs have a caged queen
and that means no egg laying for
at least 2 weeks which can amount to
a loss of production of 2,500 eggs per day.
A Nuc
Is a small hive that with
care will in most cases make you
honey the first season if started
and cared for properly
before a major nectar
flow in your area
A nuc is about one month
ahead of a package.
Nucs come in 4 sizes
# 2 - Frame an observation hive!
# 3 - Frame needs time to grow!
# 4 - Frame these will grow fast!
# 5 - Frame this size will grow super fast!
We have been taking orders now
for 2013 since
2012
We will be prividing
nucs here from
other sources too as the
crunch and demand
hits a fever pitch!
We made many hives in 2012
May 2012 20 hives
June 2012 15 hives
July 2012 18 hives
August 2012 12 hives
Hives started in 2012
will be racing to grow
super fast as spring get
consistantly warmer and
stays warm!
Do like many,
order your nuc(s)
in all new equipment
so when you
come for your order
in the spring
it is all ready to
load and take back
to your place of
business or home
and unload
and let your workers fly!
We have many on order
now that want this
set up for this coming spring.
Others will get their
nuc(s) in a cardboard
nuc box made for this type
of hive.
Do not wait to call us
when the early numbers are
all sold and you have to wait!
End of May 2012 the numbers that
missed the many early times
find themselves way out of the
loop for June and beyond.
I have sold Nucs in early spring
every year now for # 15
consective years!
Most suppliers can
not get you nucs
tell late May each year
unless you live
in the deep South!
We still have many contacts
Nationwide for bees, equipment
and Queens!
Plans for 2013
now are to develop
DVD's as learning tools for
beekeepers to see how this or that
is done with the many steps
related to Honeybees
today!
Our 1st DVD was ready
in December 2012
1st DVD is called:
Beekeeping Simplified
Edition # 1
My experience with honeybees
span 47 years.
I get in 1,000's
and 1,000's of questions
every year and
have for decades!
This set of
DVD's will help me better
help you learn faster!
My DVD ideas are
