Nuc Colony pick up

Start Your Hive the Right Way

Give your beekeeping journey the best possible foundation with a 4-frame nucleus colony (nuc) from Butte Valley Apiaries. Our nucs are packed with everything a thriving hive needs — drawn comb, brood in all stages, nurse bees, foragers, and a current-year queen that's already laying strong.

What's Included

• 4 frames of drawn comb with brood, honey, and pollen
• A healthy, laying current-year queen
• A full complement of nurse bees and foragers
• A strong, established colony ready to expand

Why Choose a Nuc?

Unlike a package of bees, a nuc gives you a head start. Your colony arrives already organized, with an accepted queen and a functioning brood nest — meaning less stress for the bees and a faster path to your first honey harvest.
