Nucs

We produce top-quality nucs every year, offering both overwintered and summer colonies to beekeepers looking for strong, sustainable, and well-bred bees.

Each of our nucs comes with six frames housed in a high-quality polystyrene box, complete with a proven laying queen. Our queens are carefully grafted from our best genetics, ensuring the continued strength, productivity, and resilience of the colony.

We are committed to the conservation and protection of the native Irish bee (Apis mellifera mellifera – AMM). Our genetics have been scientifically tested, confirming an AMM purity of over 98%, making our nucs an excellent choice for beekeepers who value locally adapted, purebred bees.
