Can you post a nuc of bees in the UK?

Yes—nucs can be sent by courier in the UK using specialist packaging and next-day services. We use Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm for eligible shipments. Weather, distance, and colony condition are checked before dispatch; local delivery or collection can also be arranged.

  • Secure, ventilated nuc boxes (we use Paynes poly nucs).
  • Next-day timing reduces transit stress.
  • Clear handover instructions for set-up and feeding on arrival.
