is located in the Plymouth / Norfolk County area in Massachusetts. We provide Queen bees, Spring Nucs, and hold Workshops on Queen rearing.



SPRING NUCS are SOLD OUT for 2025. Thank you for your patronage.

Putting together a NUC Colony

  • Choose a strong overwintered colony
  • Locate 3 frames of brood and 2 frames of Pollen and Nectar for the NUC.
  • If you locate the queen, use a clip to confine her until you are ready to put everything back (most importantly, keep her out of the NUC)
