We offer 3 different beekeeping packages. Click the submenus for descriptions of each package. Here is a description or definition for some of the components included in our packages.
Bottom Board: the floor of a beehive that all the other components build upon.
Brood: Immature bees that have not yet emerged from their cells. Brood can be in the form of eggs, larvae, or pupae of different ages.
Hive: the structure used by bees for a home.
Hive body: a wooden box which encloses the frames and is usually used as a brood chamber.
Laying Queen: A female bee with a fully developed reproductive system
Nucleus Hive or “Nuc”: A “nuc” usually consists of two to five frames of comb and used primarily for starting new colonies or rearing or storing queens.
Queen Excluder: metal or plastic device with spaces that permit the passage of workers but restrict the movement of drones and queens to a specific part of the hive.
Super: any hive body, or smaller box, used for the storage of surplus honey which the beekeeper will harvest.
Worker Bees: A female bee whose reproductive organs are undeveloped.
