Singing Cedar Apiaries Nucleus Colonies
overwintered nuc
Our 5- frame nucleus colonies have laying queens that have been laying for 4 weeks or better, and are ready to transfer into hive bodies, sometimes referred to as ‘deeps‘. Each hive comes with 5 frames of bees & brood.
Come with your own deep brood boxes with five frames of your own. We are selling you five frames with bees, brood and queen to fill out the box. We do not sell equipment.
We raise our own queens from survivor stock and all are field bred, they are Northern Survivor Hybrids from the various strains we use to breed traits into our bees.
The bees are picked up at our place in the evening(so they are in from their day flight) where you can transfer your own or we will them transfer for you. This way you have the opportunity to check your queen’s laying pattern before you take them. Queens can be difficult to find. It is the laying pattern that tells you how productive she is.
Once the transfer is made they will ride fine after dark in a pick-up truck. (Not in the vehicle with you- ouch! ) We will call you with a pick-up time and date.
Please make sure we have your phone number.
Make sure you staple your hive body to your bottom board before getting here, and don’t forget, you will need your veil, beekeeping suit, gloves, smoker, hive tool, etc.
All colonies are inspected and treated for Varroa and Tracheal and Nosema before you pick them up.
Pay $40 deposit on each nuc you want to order; choose your time frame: Remember we will call you to set up an exact date and time. Please be as on as time as possible. The bees get nasty after dark! Pay the balance in cash when you pick up the bees.
We prefer cash and do not take out-of-state checks.
Any questions call: (802)948-2057.

Directions to Singing Cedars Apiary
Coming from the North: Orwell is one hour south of Burlington coming south on 22A. As you get to Orwell township area, you will see a yellow blinking traffic light (a Gulf gas station on right), continue south through the intersection for about 0.6 mile to COOK RD — which is a RIGHT-hand turn onto a dirt road. Follow Cook Rd until you come to a 'Y'. Bear left onto STAGE RD. Go 1.7 miles to SINGING CEDARS RD. (There may only be a hand-made sign as the town seems to have given up on our road sign). Once on Singing Cedars Rd, we are the 5th house on the right going down a big hill. You will see our WHITE MAILBOX WITH BEE on it. Number #77. It's about 3.6 miles from the yellow light to our house. Coming from the South: Orwell is about 45 minutes northwest of Rutland; 15 minutes north of Fair Haven following 22A. Take Exit 2 off Route 4. Head north on 22A for about 12 miles and you will see a Gulf gas station with a huge beaver sign. (If you see a yellow traffic light, you have gone too far and need to follow 'north' directions). The Gulf gas station with the beaver sign on 22A is only a guidepost for mileage. Continue on 22A for about 2.6 miles from the store. Look on left for NORTH CROSSROAD sign and take that left off 22A onto this dirt road. (Fyles Brothers gas company is on the right-hand side of 22A. Unfortunately, they have no signs up, but there are rows of evergreens and two fields in front) Continue on North Crossroads to the 4-corner stop sign.
