I agreed to purchase some nucs from a beekeeper and he said he’d have them for me in march or april. I finally called him today asking where my bees were and he said he’d been delayed and he was just about to start making the nucs.
It’s a bit late in the season isn’t it? Will these hives still be healthy and if I feed them well how strong will they be for pollination of my almonds next February?
I live in California.
Thanks!

Still time enough. It is better to get your nuc as early as possible – the earlier, the better the chance for the bees to build up their numbers & go into the winter as a strong colony. But as long as you get your bees soon, you should still be fine.
