Jumpstart Your Beekeeping with Bee Nucs
A healthy honeybee colony is essential for a successful hive, and our Bee Nucs provide the perfect foundation. Unlike packaged bees, our nucs come with a mated, laying queen and established worker bees, giving your hive a strong start.
Each nuc includes four deep Langstroth frames filled with honeybees, capped brood, and a plastic feeder, all housed in a recyclable Pro Nuc Box. Our queens are sourced from VP Queens, known for their high-quality Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VSH) traits, helping your bees combat mites naturally.

Our honey is carefully harvested from our hives, offering a pure and natural sweetness that reflects the unique floral sources from our Minnesota apiaries. With each season, the flavor profile evolves, providing a delightful taste experience. Packaged for convenience and freshness, our honey is perfect for everyday enjoyment.
Fresh Table Honey - 1 Pound Squeeze Bottle
Our Pure and Fresh Minnesota Honey is primarily made from clover and comes in a convenient 1.0-pound recyclable plastic squeeze bottle. This honey, harvested directly from our bee farm, has been gently heated to prevent crystallization for up to a year, ensuring it remains smooth and pourable. While no longer raw, it retains the natural sweetness and flavors of the flowers from which it’s sourced.
