2012 Packages Bees & Nucs
We are happy to be able to offer package bees and a limited number of nucs this year:

These 3lb (approximate weight) Packages with Italian Queens from Gardner's Apiaries are offered by Tony Rimpkus. They will be trucked in with 4 pickup dates from late March to early May. They can be picked up here at Honey Run Apiaries and in the Cincinnati and Tipp City areas. Payment is required in advance and orders should be placed with Tony Rimpkus directly.

Order forms for all other pickup locations are available on Tony Rimpkus's website.
* Note: For the early pickup dates it is recommended that the bees be installed on drawn comb with plenty of feed because the weather is often poor and bees are reluctant to build comb in cooler weather.
6 +3 Medium Frame Nucs, Pickup Only - Very Limited Quantities
We will have a limited number of nucs available for 2012 starting in late May. They are stocked with 6 frames of bees, brood and honey, a new marked 2010NWC queen, 3 additional new frames with foundation in a standard 10 frame medium box. The box is painted and ready to be used on your hive, no need to transfer frames. Just place it on your bottom board (after removing the temporary bottom board and top) and add additional brood boxes and supers as needed. Those wishing to use deep brood boxes may just place their deep boxes on top and rotate the boxes once the queen has moved up.
Because we are switching to medium frames only for all boxes including the brood chamber, deep nucs will not be available this year.
