Nucs, or nucleus colonies, are small honey bee colonies created by dividing larger colonies in the spring and giving each of the new smaller colonies its own new queen. The term refers both to the smaller size box and the colony of honeybees within it. The name is derived from the fact that a nuc hive is centered on a queen, the nucleus of the honey bee colony. Spring is one of the busiest times of the year for Roark Acres. Please make sure to read and understand all of the details below. Doing so will make this exciting time easier for everyone.  1.
