Initial payment for Nucs is non-refundable £50 deposit, with the remaining amount of £190 payable before posting.

You will be contacted to make arrangements when we know your bees are ready and always aim to supply for your selected allocation week.  

However, collection dates may be delayed due to weather conditions and out of our control.  

Transportation:  

Nuc Postage - (Via Royal Mail Special Delivery before 1pm*) *Certain postcodes are excluded from the 1pm guarantee.

Arrival:  

After arrival home, place the nuc on the stand you wish to position it on, and open the door on the nuc immediately to prevent bees overheating, as they need to gather water and ventilate as needed. The bees will fly out and orientate.  

There is no immediate rush to do anything and best to leave them to settle for a day or two and then transfer them to their permanent hive.
