price check

[doak]

Was just wondering what prices are for one full deep and a 5 frame nuc?
My local bee man is $150 and $95.
Can anyone tell the price they paid? :)doak

Doak,

I just did a quick check of the prices from the North Carolina Argicutural Review classified section and the prices for the 5 frame nucs are $90 to $95.  The cheapest I saw for a full deep was $125, but several were closer to $150.

In my area a 5 frame nuc is selling for $115.00 at several places, this is for overwintered local stock.
I did buy some russinan nucs from someone at my club for $80.00 though.
I have also seen them as high as $125.00
$115.00 seems to be the norm though.

I bought a beginner kit (5 frames of bees incl.) $205 ( also unassembled hive body, base & cover, 5 frames, gloves, veil, pith helmet, smoker.) 2 other 5 framers for $65 each
the first one we bought is looking very ready for a honey super; the second one gets a first week inspection tomorrow morning; the third one I just set out on the "bench"

You have very good prices in your area.

We just picked up 12 Italian Nucs and 26 Packages in eastern Louisiana for $80 and $56 each respectively.  Both were spectacular in their robustness.  This was a club buy and I don't know what kind of discount they gave us.  Drove 850 miles in 18 hours including picking up and one meal.  Very tireing trip but nice bees.

a little on the high side but it just depends on what your getting.  look at the bees and the queens laying pattern if everything is good i might cry when i write the check but i'd probably go for it.
