In my area, Illinois, it is costing me $68.00 for a 3 pound nuc of bees. Is this the average cost of bees across the nation, I have never really checked. This year I am getting 2 nucs for shure and getting 8 hives for free. Dont really plan to go any higher even though I want to. bye  |

I can't remember for sure, but I THINK the 2 pounds of bees I bought 2 years ago was about $48. There was no shipping because I had my father-in-law pick them up for me.

Lapps of Wisconsin prices in the 2005 catalog are 2LB. package $44.00 till you buy 100 then reduce price by a dollar. 3 lb packages are $53.00 no reduction for buying quanity. Five frame nucs are $65.00 to bee picked up May 1st. All above packages and nucs except the Michigan ones are to bee picked up at Reeseville Wisconsin only. Kare and I got seven 2 deeps colonies complete for $50.00 each from the retireing beekeeper. Al |

My mail order Italian bees were $65 for each 3-pound package, plus shipping. Up from last year.

There are no bees in my area that I know of. The closest place is an hour and a half away, and it was cheaper to pay for shipping then gas. I honestly can't remember what I paid, somewhere in the $50-$60 range (and that's for 3# packages).
