2024 Pure Russian Nuc Deposit

$250 for a 5 Deep frame Nuc.  Local pick-up only in Ann Arbor, MI (we do not ship Nucs). Available the first weekend in May. 

We only use pure Russian certified bees. One of the biggest threats to the modern beehive and (beekeeper) is the varroa mite. Russian bees are proven to have increased resistance to varroa and tracheal mites. They are a hardy race that overwinters well. In our opinion, they are the best suited bee race for our climate. In every study comparing Russian and Italian bees, Russian bees produced as much or more honey that Italians.
