Our bees are a northern raised by me in New York and survive winters, unlike Georgia package bees that die no matter what you do. The 5 frame nuc will also build up 50% faster than packages will and are far healthier for it.
The queens you get will be a mixed race of Italian, German, Russian, Carniolan and Australian. I open mate my queens to avoid monoculture and inbreeding. I also set up my mating yards with hygenic tested hives so mites can be controlled naturally and without chemicals. I never use chemicals on my bees and never plan to, so you'll be getting bees that are strong and well worth the money.
We require a 100% payment to be put on our nuc list payable through paypal or stopping by our honey stand Friday, Saturday or Sunday. You can call Mike at 845-661-5730 or visit our online store www.shop.whiteoakapiary.com to purchase one before we sell out!
