5-Frame Russian Nuc
You will receive a minimum of 2 brood frames, 1-2 honey frames, a frame of foundation, and a new Russian queen. Other nuc suppliers may introduce a caged queen into the nuc a few days before they sell them. Not us! Our nucs are started with a ripe queen cell from selected breeder queens. The queen in your nuc IS the queen of that colony, no need to wait for her to be accepted by the bees. Your nucs are ready to go the day you pick them up. The queen is busy laying brood and the colony is growing, just waiting to be set in your back yard or your favorite honey location.
5-Frame Nucs
We make our nucs with ripe queen cells. We check for good and healthy brood patterns, but do not find every queen. Therefore, we do not mark the queens in Nucs. Bees generate heat and they can overheat and die in minutes if not properly cared for. We suggest you transport them in the open bed of a truck. This will provide plenty of ventilation while they travel to their new home.

Taking Nucs Home
Bee people do some crazy things with their bees. However, we suggest you haul your nucs in an open bed truck. You are responsible for loading and securing your nucs. Once they are loaded into/on your vehicle they are YOUR responsibility.
Ordering Nucs
Things to know when ordering Nucs
Target dates to begin picking up Nucs are April 18th-19th and 25th-26th for 2025. Please call to schedule your pickup date and time.
We have made several policy changes this year. Please read them carefully. By placing an order for nucs you are agreeing to accept these policies
A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your order and must be paid within 30 days of the invoice date. If your deposit is not received within 30 days of the invoice date, your order will be automatically cancelled.
Your balance will be due two weeks prior to your scheduled pick up date. Final payments/balance due payments may be accepted at the time of pick up with prior approval.
For payment options on orders of 100 nucs or more, please call the office at 601-716-3080.
Nucs cannot be shipped and are offered for pick up only. Once your order has been received/accepted by you, you become solely responsible for its safe transportation and success. Coy Bee Company is not responsible for losses/issues with nucs while you are transporting them.
If you cancel or reduce your order within 30 days of your scheduled pick up date, you are still responsible for the 25% non-refundable deposit on the full original order.
There will be NO refunds on cancellations made to your order less than two weeks prior to your scheduled pick up date, unless those changes are made by Coy Bee Company due to weather delays.
