Where to purchase Kutiks Honey
In South Carolina
A South Carolina bee yard in early May; Bees soon to go to melon and cuke pollination.

Making nucs (small starter hives) is part of the spring work. Think of them as the "calf" from the "pregnant cows" - the hives that have overwintered in South Carolina. This is early April. Some of the nucs will go north for sale to beekeepers, mostly to replace winter losses. Others will be sold to South Carolina beekeepers or will be kept to use for requeening pollination hives. |
| Each of the nucs will require a new queen. Some of our queens
are purchased and shipped here in battery boxes. Each plastic cage in the box below has a
queen in it. The worker bees that cluster around and over the cages will stay because of
the odor of these vigorous young queens. Other queens are reared here in our operation. For more on grafting queen cells click here. |

Nucs distributed in a hay field prior to loading for the trip north. |
