Opportunity to order Nucs for the 2014 season.
5
Frame Nucs
With the popularity of
Gib’s nucs on the rise, he has given the Methow Valley the priority in receiving
Nucs – last year he sold out and this year he is already getting lots of
positive attention. If we get to 100, Nucs Gib will deliver to the MV in
mid-April – included in the cost below! (The Sabold’s is his only
delivery spot)
Here is the
scoop:
1.
5
frame Deep Nucs with Cross Queen in Cage…………… $116.60
2.
Cross
Queen in Cage………………………………………….$27 (Carniolian or
Carniolian cross with Italian… there will be mixed color worker bees)
Wooden
Ware and Frames!
New opportunity to
load-up on Hive Bodies, Westerns and Supers. We have all spent too much on
shipping and labor assembling – now there is an option you might be interested
in. Place your order with the Nucs and Hive Kit will be delivered here the same
day as your Nucs. Pretty cool. Below is a list of essentials. Treated wooden
wear is what Gib does for his 2500 hives – he hot dips in a blend of Linseed oil
and Beeswax. Is a natural and long lasting treatment. You cannot paint the box
after this treatment – it will weather like natural wood and look more natural
in our valley.

Marilyn & Dave
Sabold have generously offered to host the NUC Pick-up. Thank you Sabolds’! In
order to not be to be a burden - this year all items must be picked up by 11am.
If you cannot make it by noon you can ask a friend to pick-up on your
behalf.

or want to make splits – Gib is offering Queens .
A Queen is $27 (each)
