National Nucleus Colony (5 Frames) – Buckfast F1 Queen

Our National Nuc is supplied with a young, mated Buckfast F1 queen and a healthy, well-balanced population of Buckfast bees. Each National nucleus colony is carefully built up to provide a strong and dependable start for beekeepers using the National hive system.

The colony typically includes brood at all stages—eggs, larvae, and sealed brood—along with adequate food stores of honey and pollen. A proven Buckfast F1 laying queen ensures steady colony development, smooth expansion, and long-term productivity.

Buckfast bees are highly regarded for their gentle temperament, reliable honey production, and consistent colony growth, making this National Nuc suitable for both hobbyist and experienced beekeepers.
