Buckfast Nucleus Colony Zander 1.5

Buckfast Nucleus Colony Zander 1.5 – summarised for you

Our nucleus colonies are very popular thanks to their excellent qualities such as gentleness, low swarming tendency and productivity. The mated queen is already in the colony and has laid eggs in the brood frames. The number of bees is chosen to ensure very good development after arrival at the beekeeper's. The Buckfast nucs are spread across 5 frames: 3 brood frames, 1 frame of stores and one frame being drawn out. Before the nucs are delivered to customers, they undergo a comprehensive health examination. On request, we will also send you a corresponding health certificate after you have received your bees. The bees are delivered in tailor-made nuc boxes and reach the customer in less than 24 hours.
