Hi all, I am a new beekeeper with a new flow hive 2. I just finished painting the roof and oiling the outside of the brood box and I’m ready to go. Looking forward to getting started.
Does anybody know of someone on the Sunny Coast that sells bees? I would love to purchase a nuc.
Thanks for your help
Samantha
Hi Samantha, welcome to the forum. Greetings from Buderim. I sell nucs, & I’m Flow hive friendly.
Welcome, I hope you enjoy reading the forum posts as much as I do. I am new also and have learnt so much from everyone here.

Hi Jeff
Thank you for the warm welcome.
You’re not too far from me… I’m in Dulong.
Definitely interested in your Nuc’s. Please let me know how I can get in touch.
Thanks
Sam
Hi Linda
Thanks for the newbie welcome. Ah yes! I spent a few hours reading some of the posts, as you say they’ve been so informative and very helpful. We are in great company. I’m grateful.
Enjoy your beekeeping journey
Sam
Hi Sam, I’ll PM you after lunch. cheers
Hi Samlenn,
I have my hive in Rosemount, I used to live in Buderim and am just about ready to go. How did you go with starting your hive?
Hi Artizensc, welcome to the forum and this beautiful beekeeping!
Starting went great, I received my nuc from JeffH back in January and the colony has grown strong. I put my super on in March and the girls are busy filling in the gaps. No honey spares yet, patience is my best friend!
Do you have your nuc?
Thanks for your reply Samantha,
I have been told by one keeper to wait and another to get a full hive, so Im trying to do some homework to see whats best for my area. Are you needing to feed your bees at all yet?
I haven’t been feeding mine, there’s plenty of flowers around and they’re landing with pollen on their legs. I did a hive inspection last week and I wrote my observations and learnings here in the forum. I’m a newbee though feel that two (probably 3) full frames of honey should do them okay.
Oh that’s great news. Your bees are doing so well.
Thank you for that information.
I will be picking up my colony Saturday, I went and saw them today. **)
