Spring nucleus hives - $185

I am now taking orders for spring nucleus hives.
Spring nucleus hives consist of 5 DEEP frames: 3 frames of bees/brood, 1 frame of honey and 1 frame drawn (may have honey, brood or be open); and a laying queen raised from our own stock and mated this spring (2024).
My yards are treatment free and have been for over 10 years.
Parent hives receive a protein/pollen patty in late December or early January.
Late re-queening hives and nucs that are behind in August may receive some syrup.
That is the only assistance our bees get.
Spring nucleus hives are $185.
Pick-up is in STILWELL, OK.
A deposit of $50 is required to reserve each nuc.
Deposits are NOT refundable unless I fail to provide the nuc.
Nucs are ready for pickup from mid-May through mid-June.
Nucs are ready in the order that deposits are received.
Balance is due at the time of pick-up (cash only).
Nucs are only held for 24 hours.
After that, the buyer is responsible for the nuc.
Please contact us at the number listed for more information.
No emails please.
