The perfect way to start beekeeping! Our five frame nucleus colonies (or nucs) come with 5 deep frames of comb with various amounts of honey, pollen and brood of all stages (egg, larval and pupa), 3+ pounds of live bees and a laying queen. Our queens have been established and laying in the colony for several weeks. We make our nucs from our own bees and start them out with a queen cell. That queen than hatches and flies out to mate with drones in our bee yards. We start with Italian queen cells, but what they mate with is out of our control so we lovingly call them "Montana Mutts". We have been successfully selling nucs to customers for 9 years with great feedback on temperament, honey production and winter survival rates. 

By placing an order, you will be placed on our reservation list.

Pick up day will be Saturday, May 9th in the morning.*

We encourage everyone to make the scheduled pick up day. We all work full time plus chase around 2 kiddos during baseball season. It makes it difficult to also schedule alternate pick up dates.

We will send out reminder emails in the beginning on April. You will be asked to confirm your order and confirm that you can make the pick up date. Again, we ask that you try your hardest to make the scheduled pick up day. 

If you are unable to make the designated pick up day, we will work with you to find an alternative day where most people can make it, there will however be a $10 convenience fee due at time of pick up.  

**A non-refundable price of $50 is due on checkout. The rest will be due on pick up**

Game changing storage!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I love the shelves. I got to use my own wood which was a reclaimed piece that I found and sanded and then stained. I'm so proud to see them on the shelves. It got so much clutter corralled from around the room and put in one place where it all looks good displayed together. The support pieces are very good quality and I found this to be very good value for the price. I'm very happy with this item.

Good all around, some imperfections on threads difficult to screw together
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I received a complete product as advertised, it's a solid steel design with everything you need to mounted included. One small issue I encountered is that the pieces screw together but they wouldn't screw all the way it felt difficult and possibly if forced the steel might crack. Unfairly enough other pieces did completely screw in. So it's probably because of imperfections on the threads.

Build w/ a Friend, and BYOL (Bring Your Own Level)
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Definitely a two-person job. Not because it's heavy, but a little awkward at first. I installed the first bracket, and my 12 yo assisted. Then, she hung the second bracket, and I assisted. Have a level handy. I didn't want to roll the dice and allow her to hang from the bracket, but it seems super-strong. We hung the brackets 32" apart, and 6" overhang, i.e. 48" x 12" laminate shelves. Gorgeous.

Nice, sturdy kit...would buy again!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount, Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Purchasing this kit instead of each piece of pipe and fittings required was a no-brainer. It was especially easy because all pieces are prepainted. It went together with ease. Mounting was simple with planning, measurements, and a level. *Note* I purchase the pine stair treads from Home Depot that are 1" thick and then chemically aged them before adding polycrylic. It is cheaper than plywood and shelving boards, and a full 1" thick rather than 1x12 shelving.

Looks amazing!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount, Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Very straight forward to build. Mine was not hard but to a bit more effort because my ceiling is at an angle so I had to get a little creative. I cut a piece of wood and placed it between the ceiling and one of the arms for it to be even. It’s also not completely even cause I didn’t have a long level but still looks amazing.
