Our Ligustica nucleus colonies come from bees that have proven to be particularly gentle, low-swarming and productive. When you order one of our Ligustica nucs, you receive 5 frames in total: 3 brood frames, 1 food frame and 1 frame being drawn out. Our nucs contain a good quantity of bees including a queen. Of course, our Ligustica nucleus colonies on Zander are thoroughly checked for health before dispatch. On request, we can also include a corresponding health certificate. With us, you get high-quality, healthy bees straight from the beekeeper.

Ligustica nucleus colony on Zander – a hard-working colony

Over time, Ligustica bees have proven again and again to be extremely lively, healthy and industrious bees – it is no wonder they are so popular. You will receive our Ligustica nucs on Zander – depending on the weather and conditions – from roughly the second half of April to early May. This is when the first deliveries take place. A somewhat later delivery date in the second half of May or early June is of course also possible. With every Ligustica Zander nuc delivery you receive:

• 3 frames with brood
• 1 food frame (stores still being built up)
• 1 frame being drawn out

Every Ligustica nucleus colony of course also comes with a proven, mated queen. We rely on daughters of purebred breeder queens, so that you will continue to benefit from the positive traits of the Ligustica nuc in the future. Our queen bee is already established in the colony, so she can move freely and ensure plenty of offspring.

The Ligustica is considered one of the most popular bees in the world – and with good reason. Its outstanding characteristics have allowed it to establish itself above all in sunny regions such as southern Europe or Australia, but demand for the Ligustica is also growing in Germany, Austria, the former Yugoslavia, Belgium and Luxembourg. The advantages are obvious, as the Ligustica bee is considered

• to have a particularly low swarming tendency and to be robust
• above-average in productivity and yield, so that large quantities of honey can be produced
• resistant to heat and winter cold, and
• to have a particularly good sense of orientation, so the bees always find their way back.

Before we send the Ligustica Zander nucs to you, we check the bees thoroughly for health. A varroa mite treatment is also carried out by us, so you will not need to treat again until the following season. On request, we will include a corresponding health certificate. The Ligustica nucleus colony consists not only of young bees but also of an already mated, proven queen that is fully integrated into the colony. This keeps stress for the bees to a minimum, as the colony and queen do not have to be separated.

About 2–7 days before dispatch, we will inform you in writing by email exactly when the delivery will take place. We kindly ask you to be at home or at your apiary on the stated date, so that the bees can be taken out of the package straight away and placed in the hive. Shipping is exclusively by overnight express. Via our online shop, we ship to Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Delivery to islands is only possible if there is a direct connection to the mainland.

Seasonal note for deliveries from late August

For orders with a delivery date from late August onwards, the amount of brood may be smaller for seasonal reasons. At this time, bee colonies increasingly prepare for overwintering and naturally reduce their brood rearing. This is part of the bees’ normal annual cycle and is not a quality defect.
