Our Overwintered nucs are headed by a 2024 Buckfast queen, marked accordingly. Busting with bees and ready to be transferred into a full-size hive. Buckfast bees are known for being very prolific. Our overwintered nucs will usually build up in time to produce a spring crop of honey and definitely a summer crop, as long as the conditions are right and the colony is managed correctly.

Wintered 5 frame buckfast nucleus an queen
Arrived at honey field farm on time, was greeted in a welcoming manner, no fuss, bees already packed. Excellent advice and when getting back home the bees didn’t take long to work out where they were. Moving them into the hive was easy, queen spotted already marked and the brood frames full of new workers. Had the bees a couple of weeks and they work like trogons, very very impressed with the quality of the bees and the service. Definitely using them again, many thanks.

Over wintered nuc
Honeyfield Bees are simply the best... I have ordered several overwintered nucs over the last few years and have always found the bees to be excellent temperament, very strong, producing plenty of honey even in the 1st year. Their expert advice is second to none.
