just $10 between a nuc and package, I am surprised they even sell any packages. someone would be crazy to buy packages when they can get a nuc for close to the same price. Around here average price for a nuc is about $100. average price on a 3# package is about $65 |

I've been told to get $90 for 5 frame nucs in a cardboard nuc box this year. These will be mutts from south Ga and you pick up. We don't like the packages and luck lots of people have installing them so we don't shake and sell them.

I keep a list of about 30 package suppliers with information on prices (incl. shipping to my zip). I also collect nuc and queen prices. The list won't be complete until January, but currently, the average price for a 3lb package is: 83.38 and the average prices for nucs are: 3 frame - 95; 4 frame - 100.75; 5 frame - 110.00. These do not include shipping. Nuc prices are based on many fewer totals.
If anyone wants the entire list, pm me in January, it is an excel file

$65 for a 3 lbs package of Italians.
NUCS are anywhere from $80-105 around here from what I'm seeing.
We ordered six packages last night and might increase the order if some of our hives die.

Around here average price for a nuc is about $100. average price on a 3# package is about $65 The reason they are so close in price is a nuc usually has to be picked up and not shipped most of the time. a package is usually shipped. So a package is about $30-$40 cheaper if you pick it up like you would a nuc. |

I am paying $175 per 5 frame nuc for russians, 20$ for shipping. I think that this is expensive, but The bees I got here last year are good producers and very quiet, so it is worth it. I got some nuc's from other suppliers and they were $150 and hot as hell.

I'm getting a couple of Russian nucs for $100/ea. Of course I'm driving up to Easley, SC to get them so there is the additional cost of mileage...

you must be getting them from Dwight, He will have a Russian yard here in Lincoln County Ga. this year. We are going to fill all of his equipment and all of mine this year thats why he isn't selling a lot of nuc's this year. |
