Nuc & Queen Package Bees in Illinois

For more than 20 years, Meyer Bees has been a leading provider of nucs, queens, and package bees in Illinois. Conveniently located just outside of Chicago, we are a trusted local supplier for beekeepers of all experience levels. Our knowledgeable staff—who are all beekeepers themselves—are passionate about helping you start, grow, and maintain strong, healthy colonies.

Start Your Hive with Our Quality Nucs

A nuc (short for nucleus colony) is one of the best ways to establish a thriving hive. Our nucs include a healthy, laying queen along with worker bees and fully drawn-out frames containing brood, pollen, and honey. By choosing a nuc, you give your bees a head start, allowing them to expand and produce honey more quickly.

Queens Bred for Success

A high-quality queen is the heart of a productive hive, and at Meyer Bees, we offer queens that are carefully selected for their strong genetics, disease resistance, and gentle temperament. Our queens are locally bred to ensure they perform well in Illinois’ unique climate, giving beekeepers reliable results season after season.

Package Bees: A Great Choice for Beekeepers

Whether you’re starting fresh or expanding your apiary, our package bees provide an excellent foundation for building a strong colony. Each package includes thousands of healthy worker bees and a young, mated queen. We source our package bees from trusted producers to ensure they arrive in top condition, ready to establish a new hive.
