2024 Bee Orders

This year the El Dorado Beekeepers is offering club members the choice of both nucs and package bees.

A nucleus colony (nuc) consists of five deep frames with honeycomb and a newly established colony. It includes a newly mated queen, all stages of brood, and frames with honey and pollen. Nucs build up more quickly than packages and are the easiest way for beginners to establish new hives.

Package bees are an artificial swarm containing 2-3 lbs of shook bees, plus a newly mated, caged queen.

All sales are final
