Pre-order Buckfast nucleus colonies on Dadant Blatt and receive them at the start of the season

Our Buckfast lines have improved over the years and prove to be agile, robust, healthy and productive bees, especially compared with Buckfast bees from other sources. This is why our Dadant Blatt Buckfast nuc is so popular with beekeepers. Depending on the weather, our Buckfast nucs on Dadant Blatt arrive from late April to mid-May. This is always our first nuc delivery of the season. Our second delivery takes place from the end of May to mid-June and is processed promptly once your order has been received.

Each Buckfast nucleus colony on Dadant Blatt contains:

• 3 frames of brood
• 1 food frame
• 1 frame being drawn out
• 1 mated, laying queen
• A good quantity of worker bees to start the bee season

The queens are usually proven F1 queens bred from island-mated queens of the highest quality. For the queens in our Dadant Blatt Buckfast nucs, we do not select by mating method but by performance and actual temperament. Once the colonies meet our quality standards, they are shipped to beekeepers or made available for collection.

Buckfast Dadant Blatt nucs – healthy, strong bees

Buckfast bees are rightly widespread and very popular. Brother Adam, also known as Karl Kehrle, was a Christian monk and at the same time the first breeder of these bees at Buckfast in England. He made it his mission to select the many positive traits of different bee races and combine them in a high-quality “Buckfast” breeding programme. That is why the Buckfast bee in general, and our lines in particular, are still known for their:

• Gentle temperament
• Low swarming tendency
• High productivity
• High yields
• Strong brood rearing
• Calmness on the comb
• Vitality and disease resistance
• Resistance to heat and winter cold

Before any of our Buckfast Dadant Blatt nucs are dispatched, our experienced beekeepers check carefully that the bees meet the quality standards we expect. A health certificate is available and can be sent to you by email after delivery. In addition, the nuc is treated against the varroa mite beforehand. Please also bear in mind that the number of available Dadant Blatt colonies is limited, so we strongly recommend ordering early.

For bee shipping we use only custom-made packaging designed specifically for this purpose, which guarantees very good ventilation for our nucs. The nucs also have enough food for the short journey, so the bees stay well during transport. About 2–7 days before shipping we will email you to let you know exactly when your bees will be delivered and arrive at your home. Someone must be present to receive the bees and take care of them immediately. Bees are shipped exclusively by overnight express. Through our online bee shop, bees can be shipped within Germany and to Austria, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Delivery to islands is only possible if there is a direct connection to the mainland.
