1. Dave Johnson of West Arm Apiaries is importing some bee packages from New Zealand, due to arrive before the end of April. If you’re interested, get in touch with him at 250-229-4765. Orders have to be in by mid-February, but don’t wait too long; there’s fewer than 50 packages available as of this writing.
2. Liz Huxter has e-mailed that she has about 25 nucs still available. They will be $160.00 this year and will be available around May 15. You can e-mail her; lizandterry@gmail.com
3. Cory Greidanus in Cranbrook will try to produce nucs this year for the first time. You can contact him; cgreidan@gmail.com
4. Bee suppliers farther afield in BC can be contacted via the BC Bee Breeders website;
West Kootenay Beekeepers 
Do you know of anyone selling Nucs this year? I am wanting to get started with a few hives and thought this might be the best way to do it versus buying packaged bees to establish hive.
Hello Angela,
The only local source of nucs that I know of are Liz and Terry Huxter in Grand Forks. You can find them and other potential sources at the BC Bee Breeders site; http://dencor.ca/BCBBA/index16e4.html?page_id=24
Good luck.
