You will receive an established, laying, and marked queen with 5 full frames of her brood of all stages and resources (honey, pollen). These bees are bred from my local 10 year old apiary which has NEVER been treated with acaracides, chemicals, or treatments. They come on clean, natural comb in wooden foundationless frames for natural cell size, and the nuc is a wooden box with a disc entrance. The nucs will be closed up early on pick up day, before the population exits to forage, and pick up is prefered early, while the hives are cool for transport.
