« Last post by Occam on Today at 12:50:50 am »Around here I'm seeing nucs going for around $170-$200. Some seem to charge more for overwinter nucs while others don't. Generally they come in pro-nuc or jester boxes though there are a couple that send them in a wooden nuc box and even one that requires you to bring your own box for transport.
As for full colonies there are a couple beeks I've seen seeking for around $375 for a ten frame box with bottom board, telescoping cover, reducer, and essentially a colony with 2-3 frames they can expand on. No additional deeps or mediums, it's just the one deep box.
