Loudoun Beekeepers Association (LBA) is making an effort to educate and encourage club members to create local nucleus (nuc) colonies. Below is a list of LBA members producing local nucs and/or queens. It is each producer's responsibility to have their apiaries inspected by the Virginia State Apiary Inspector for the current year.
Please note that availability of nucs and queens is seasonal, and quantity from small scale producers is limited.
Disclaimer: The Loudoun Beekeepers Association does not endorse any particular service or product provider, is not liable for any failed products, personal liability, or damages incurred, nor do we control the providers bee rearing methods and business practices. We provide this information for the general public only as a list of LBA members who have stated they provide these products or services. Buyers will need to contact individual producers with questions regarding nucs and queens, as the LBA is not a broker.
What should I ask the nuc/queen producer?

Nucs are created from The Beekeeper’s Farm local self-substainable beeyards which are state inspected each year before sales. Nucs are sold with a Pro Nuc Transport Multi-Purpose box which can be used for catching swarms or making splits in your yard bee yard.
