Our VSH Nucleus Colony, featuring a VP Pol Line 2.2 VSH Queen, is an exceptional choice for beekeepers looking to strengthen their apiary with proven, resilient genetics. Each F1 VSH Queen is selectively bred for Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VSH) traits, meaning her offspring are better equipped to detect and remove Varroa-infested brood—an essential foundation for sustainable, long-term colony health.
These nucs are ideal for both apiary expansion and new colony establishment, offering seamless integration into your existing operation and providing reliable performance all season long. Whether your focus is honey production, pollination, or simply maintaining healthier colonies, these nucs offer dependable strength, gentle temperament, and locally adapted genetics.
Every nucleus colony is securely packaged in a ventilated, transport-ready nuc box to ensure the bees remain safe during pickup and travel. Our bees are bred specifically for temperament, productivity, and resilience, making them a smart investment for both new and seasoned beekeepers.
