Honey So Good Apiary - Accepting Reservations for Spring 2026 nucleus (nuc’s) honey bee colonies.

Nuc’s will be sold on a first come - first serve basis. Pricing is $180 for a 5 frame nuc in either
deep or medium frame configuration. I am not requiring a deposit, simply a reservation. You will
be required to pay $180 at the time the order is picked up. I am willing to offer a discount on
orders greater than or equal to 5 nuc’s. Payment can be handled via cash, check, PayPal, Venmo,
or credit card.

The colony will come in 5 frame waxed cardboard style nuc box; which contains the following 1
laying queen, 3 frames with brood & eggs in various stages and 1 resource frame with some room
for the colony to grow. The 5 th frame will depend on the colony and maybe be more resource or
more brood depending on the weather and strength of the colony. These honey bees are from our
local stock (PA / Ohio Valley Mutt’s if you will – which contain Italian, Carniolan, and other
genetics that bee keepers have in this region). Though we are not a selective breeder these bees
are overwintered stock from this area exhibiting good overwintering characteristics.

 

I am willing to meet folks at a reasonable distance for transferring of the nuc’s. Colonies will
have received necessary state inspection prior to you being contacted to arrange pickup/meeting
point. Anticipating availability May through June (weather dependent).

If you need to reach out to me with questions prior to you making your reservation, please send
me an email or text/call to 724-506-0027and I will respond as quickly as I can.
