Over time, Ligustica bees have proven again and again to be extremely robust, healthy and productive bees, so it is no wonder they are so popular. Depending on the weather, you will receive our Ligustica nucleus colonies on Deutsch Normalmaß from late April to early May. This is when the first deliveries take place. A somewhat later delivery in the second half of May or in early June is of course also possible. Every Deutsch Normalmaß Ligustica nucleus colony delivery includes:

• 3 frames with brood

Every Ligustica nucleus colony naturally also comes with a proven, mated queen.

Ligustica is considered one of the most popular bee breeds in Germany and indeed worldwide. And with good reason: its favourable characteristics are why it has become established above all in sunny regions such as Southern Europe and Australia, but it is also increasingly in demand in Germany, Austria, the former Yugoslavia, Belgium and Luxembourg. The advantages are clear, as the Ligustica bee is considered:

• Particularly robust, with a low swarming tendency
• Exceptionally productive and high-yielding, so large quantities of honey can be produced
• Resilient to heat and winter cold, and
• Excellent at orientation, so the bees always find their way home.

Before we send the Ligustica DN nucleus colonies to you, we check the bees' health. We also carry out a treatment against the varroa mite before dispatch, so you may not need to treat again until the following season. On request, we will include a health certificate – just let us know. This nucleus colony, a young colony of Ligustica bees, consists not only of young bees but also of a queen that is already mated and proven and fully integrated into the structure of the colony. This keeps stress for the bees to a minimum, as the colony and queen do not have to be separated.

Seasonal note for deliveries from late August

For orders with a delivery date from late August onwards, the amount of brood may be smaller due to the season. At this time of year, colonies are increasingly preparing for winter and naturally reduce their brood rearing. This is part of the bees' normal annual cycle and is not a quality defect.
