Local nuc colonies may be overwintered stock with a surviving queen or a newly established queen!
Nucleus colonies become the responsibility of the customer once they have been picked up from Cormack Bee Company. While we make every effort to provide support, advice, there are many different factors outside of our control which impact the success of these colonies once they have left the pickup point.
Therefore, Cormack Bee Company does not guarantee the development, establishment, and realization of a successful colony once the nuc is picked up.
No return, no guarantees on live bees
All paid purchases on live bees (nucs, queens,) are non-refundable, non-transferable and non-cancellable
