Bee Nucs Minnesota 2025

Varroa Sensitive Hygiene ( VSH)  Honey Bees for Sale pickup in Watertown Minnesota. Ideal for beginning beekeepers!   Each nuc contains Four Deep Langstroth style frames of honeybees and capped brood with a new recently mated, laying VSH queen bee and plastic feeder in a recyclable plastic Pro Nuc Box.  We use breeder queens from our friends at VP Queens that are the main queen breeders of VSH honeybees in the USA. So these are F1 hybrids that express the VSH traits quite well.  Varroa Sensitive Hygiene is a behavior that can be selected for in honeybees where they open capped brood that is infected with mites ending their reproductive cycle  All of our nucs are started with queen cells and will have been laying 4-5 weeks by the time they are available for pickup. You provide the hive bodies, stand, covers and the skill. We do not ship bees, because these are not package bees. You pick the nuc up at our bee farm either between 5/10 -5/12 or if you bought the June pickup around 6/15/24
