Evaluating a NUC
We love hearing positive feedback about our spring NUCs. We also accept responsibility when a sold colony isn’t at it’s best. With live animals, a grand prize winner isn’t a guarantee every time. Nevertheless, good bee suppliers with conscientious practices will have many more successes than failures. I hope the following tips give you the tools you need for evaluating a spring NUC.
It might seem obvious, but not all NUCs are raised the same. A NUC may look pretty, or it may not look like much. The initial appearance doesn’t always reveal enough about future progress. How that NUC was prepared and how your new queen was raised is a better predictor. Your supplier is working with hundreds of hives and moving resources from one to another to give each NUC what it needs for success. Understanding the habits and motivations of your supplier is beneficial for understanding future advantages of your colony.
