Description

Crooked Creek will provide a 7 day warranty, starting from the date buyer takes possession of their Nuc.

Crooked Creek nucs contain a VSH queen: VSH (Varroa Sensitive Hygiene) is a  hygienic behavior, wherein bees remove  mite-infested cells from the brood nest.  This VSH behavior serves as a natural and physical check on the varroa mites’ ability to reproduce and expand their population inside of a beehive.
