At BS Honey Bees, we’re always looking to innovate and cater to the ever-evolving needs of beekeepers across the UK. For 2025, we’re thrilled to announce a limited trial offering of Overwintered Langstroth Nucs, designed specifically for those using Langstroth hives, including popular options like Flow Hives and Anel Hives.
This marks a significant step forward for us as we expand our offerings to include Langstroth equipment and bees, providing even more versatility and choice for our customers.
Why Langstroth Nucs?
The Langstroth hive has become increasingly popular among UK beekeepers, with its international roots and adaptability to innovative products like the Flow Hive. In our recent blog, Flow Hives: A Unique Choice for UK Beekeepers, we explored how the Flow Hive has transformed traditional beekeeping by simplifying the honey extraction process. However, one of the biggest challenges for Flow Hive owners and other Langstroth users in the UK has been sourcing high-quality colonies that fit their unique hive system.
We’ve listened to your requests and are excited to fill that gap with our Overwintered Langstroth Nucs, ensuring you have the best possible start to your beekeeping season.
What Sets Our Langstroth Nucs Apart?
1️⃣ Top-Quality Buckfast Queens
Our Langstroth Nucs are headed by UK Buckfast Queens, bred with Danish pedigree heritage. Known for their docility, productivity, and strong hygienic traits, these queens are perfect for hobbyists and professionals alike.
2️⃣ Delivered in Our New Langstroth Correx Box
These nucs will be housed in our soon-to-be-released Langstroth Correx Box, offering superior ventilation, durability, and convenience. (The box will also be available separately in 2025 for those looking to add it to their beekeeping toolkit.)
3️⃣ Overwintered for Robust Colonies
Overwintering allows colonies to establish and strengthen, giving you a solid and productive start in spring. This is particularly important for Langstroth users who want to maximise their hive’s potential from day one.
4️⃣ Perfect for Flow Hives
As noted in our Flow Hive blog, one of the key considerations for Flow Hive owners is sourcing a colony that complements their system. These Langstroth Nucs fit the bill perfectly, offering an easy transition into the Flow Hive setup.
