5 FRAME NUC INFO
If you want to support local beekeepers and get a NUC for a great price then you found the right place. Here's Why..
 
Our Nucs are made locally from our bees in Layton, UT. They have NOT be in transit long distances to be sold.
Check out our Google reviews! We have a strong reputation and we work hard to keep it.
You are supporting a local family owned business. We love what we do!
You get the support of 2 experienced beekeepers who are willing to answer questions you might have or guide you through any situation you might be stuck on or are unsure about.
Queens are proven before you pick them up. Most operations will make a nuc and throw a caged queen in and off you go. With Homer's we make the nuc and introduce the queen and will wait until she is laying and has proven herself so you don't end up with a dud queen. This gives you a successful start without any unexpected hiccups!
You get a mark queen with current years color - No other venders around do this or even offer it. We see the value of having a marked queen especially for beginners. It's very educational to be able to see the queen during your inspection.
Your bees will be treated for varroa mites and checked for disease so your bees can have a good clean start.
 
 
What is a nuc supposed to look like?
Our strong 5 frame nucleus hive comes with an New 2025 laying queen. All queens will come marked.
It has 2 frames of developing brood (eggs, larvae, capped), 2 frames of honey and pollen and 1 frame with room for queen to lay eggs in, and not to mention lots of bees!
 
Great way to hit the ground running starting a hive. All queen bees are Italian/Cardovan or Carniolan hybrid. Bred to be gentle bees and great honey producers.
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Depending on weather, Nucs should be ready by the 4th weekend of April through the 1st week of May. As the queens prove themselves and the Nucs become ready then we will reach out and schedule a day and time for pick up.
