Bees in Nuc Beehive

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 £260, 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 £260 which will stay constant until the first of February. For an additional brood box on top, add £65, 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. 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
