Local Nucs

What makes our Nucs so great?

We have Wisconsin nucs BORN & BRED in Wisconsin

and SOLD ONLY in Wisconsin.

Why is this important? We are unique here at Lloyd St. Bees due to the fact that our bees do not leave Wisconsin. That means...

Three frames of brood and bees at various stages (eggs, larvae and capped)
One frame of feed (honey, syrup, pollen)
One miscellaneous frame (sugar frame, drawn frame, brood, feed frame or foundation)
Marked 2026 Lloyd St. Bees queen
Available early June (this does not mean June 1st in bee-dates)
Preorders begin 1/1/2026 with more availability as spring arrives.
Bulk discounts available for 10 or more nucs, contact us here for ordering.

We have decided to not offer single deep colonies for the 2026 season.
Over the years, we have worked through all our older equipment and all our current 10 frame equipment is close to brand new.
We will be holding on to this equipment for awhile.
We also wanted to focus our effort on AI breeder queen production and additional nuc production.
