At our local association we require to produce a number of nuc colonies for new beekeepers members in our association. In the past we would provide a swarm for free but they are few and far in recent years so the members are specifically asked to produce some nucs. The committee set a minimum rate of £50 for a 5 frame nuc. What do other associations do and how much do you charge for a nuc for new members of your association? What do you think is a fair price etc?
