Pickup near Carlisle, PA or Nicholson, PA
We are selling a very limited number of spring nucs in 2026. You won't buy a nuc that we wouldn't want for ourselves! The overwintered April nucs are made with our August 2025 Pol-line queens (marked blue) that we have overwintered and observed for quality. The May nucs are made with 2026 Pol-line queens (marked white), mated in the southern U.S. to provide earlier nucs (may be as early as April, but greatly weather dependent). The June 2026 nucs are made with our 2026 Pol-line queens.
The 5 drawn frames which are primarily plastic (possibly with some wooden) frames include a marked and laying queen, frames of brood, and resources. The nuc boxes will vary from what is shown here, to plastic, or pro nuc.
This is a reservation commitment (if you are undecided, please do not order). PA sales tax is added when you purchase (provide us with a copy of a PA sales tax exemption form if applicable). You are welcome to keep or return the nuc box. $25 refund if nuc box is returned in functional condition within 4 weeks to Carlisle or Nicholson pickup location.
Pickup of nucs may vary if impacted by spring weather, and you will be contacted in the spring (make sure you provide both phone and email address) as your pickup month gets closer. Here are some nuc installation instructions, and here is a page of beekeeping tips.
