5 frame NUC of resilient certified Russian bees - great for Treatment-Free OR conventional beekeeping
These Russian NUCs are gentle, productive, and frugal, quick to adjust to changing forage, which is essential in Texas.
They exhibit strong varroa tolerance and hygienic behavior (VSH, grooming, natural brood breaks), making them an excellent fit for treatment-free bee yards.
 
FEATURES: 
5 drawn frames with brood, food, bees and a certified Russian queen.
These NUCs are young, semi-established colonies that should build up and overwinter well with proper nutrition in their first season.
Because they arrive on their own drawn comb with food and brood, they begin 4-6 weeks ahead of packages picked up at the same time.
Pickup in early April (exact date TBD)
