Bees For Sale
You can buy bees from us. Pre-order 2025 overwintered nucs now with a £65 deposit.
To receive updates on the availability of our overwintered nucs of honeybees for sale, sign up here.
An overwintered nuc is an established colony. It has survived the previous winter with a proven queen from the year before (2024). The bees are raised locally – around Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and the wider Cotswolds. So, you will be buying British honeybees with a British queen.
The nucs are headed by an open mated queen selected for her good qualities. She and her daughters will be calm and easy to handle - suitable for beginners and experienced beekeepers alike.
Bees for sale are available in poly nucs and Correx nucs. I have British National and 14x12 available. Each nuc holds 6 Hoffman frames. Nucs will have honeybee brood in all stages plus food/stores to get your colony off to a good start.
Our Correx nucs of bees offer a great value choice especially if you already have a poly nuc and don't want to buy another. Correx is a lightweight and waterproof plastic board-like material. A 6 frame Correx nuc is a really cost-effective way to buy honeybees. Perfect for beginners and good value for old hands.
You can contact me here if you have any questions about the bees or the nucs themselves. I don't post bees. If you would like to buy bees from me there are a couple of options for delivery/collection - please have a look at the relevant section on the nuc product pages.
If I'm delivering your nuc of bees and you’d like my help installing your bees - just let me know.
If you need any advice caring for your new bees afterwards, again, just let me know. Once you have your bees you can contact me anytime.
Have fun!
Harry Hazlem - Beekeeper
