I am excited to let everyone know that I will be selling Nucleus (Nucs) this year. My goal is to make 150 nucs for sell. This will be first come first serve basis and payment will be at the time of pick up or delivery. They will be 5 frames full of bees and a laying queen. For now, the nucs will only be Langstroth deep frames. As I get my bee business back on it's feet, I will expand to Top Bars and Langstroth mediums (this will probably be a couple of years). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at 505-281-7851. To get on the waiting list please click here.

Exciting news on equipment!!! When Marla Spivak from the University of Minnesota was here at the NMBKA conference some years back, she talked about propolis (click on propolis for a 44 minute video) in the hives. I talked to Mike Fickling about making hives with rough cut lumber so that they would propolis the inside of the hive. He has done it! They are beautifully built, sturdy 1-inch thick rough cut hives so they have more insulation value. I was so impressed with them that I plan on switching all my brood chambers over to them. He also has other equipment such as hive tools, gloves, smokers, hats, and veils for sale for those that do not have any. You can reach him at 505-228-7869.
