British LANGSTROTH nuc of Honey Bees Delivery DEPOSIT for 2026

You have come to the right place to buy honey bees. We have honey bees for sale that are good-tempered and easy to handle on the comb and they are perfect for starting out in beekeeping and for advanced beekeepers who have experience keeping honey bees. These honey bees are very gentle and they make inspections therapeutic and a real joy.

We charge £310 for each Langstroth honey bee nuc. Delivery charge is £35 per nuc. We take a £40 (non-refundable) deposit up front and the remaining balance, due before the delivery of your bees.

You will receive a confirmation email nearer the time confirming your delivery date.

If we can’t reach you, we’ll offer your Nuc to the next customer. If we are unable to reach you after numerous attempts, your order will be cancelled, and the deposit will be lost.

Royal Mail Special Delivery® Postage Prices

*Note: Certain postcodes are excluded from the 1PM guarantee; please refer to the Royal Mail website for details.

We ship to the UK only; unfortunately, as of March 2025 we are unable to send to Northern Ireland due to the Windsor Framework.

Why Royal Mail?
We exclusively use Royal Mail for shipping live bees, as they are the only courier that manually handles each consignment. Unlike other couriers, Royal Mail does not use conveyor belts and is legally authorised to transport live insects. Be cautious of suppliers using alternative couriers, as their handling processes often involve conveyor systems that can harm the bees.

Important Notice:
Postage is undertaken at the customer’s own risk. For the best care and safety of your bees, we strongly recommend collecting your Nuc in person.

Two-Week Window: Nucs must be sent within 14 days of notification to prevent swarming. Delayed dispatches may incur a £20 + VAT weekly hive management fee.

Then your honey bees will be ready for a new home! After placing your order we will be in touch in the Spring to arrange and confirm a date for delivery.
