NECTARBEE, a Colorado product manufacturer licensed under number 404R-00003, is no longer active, according to state license records updated October 2. The deactivation coincides with at least eleven other Colorado cannabis operators losing active status the same day, including extract makers (Atomic Concentrates, Lepow Extracts), cultivators (Golden Parachute Farms, Grow.Gods.Genetics), and retailers (Livwell, Pueblo Wellness).

The simultaneous closures or status changes suggest either a batch license-renewal deadline, compliance action, or administrative update rather than isolated operational failures. Colorado maintains 912 active retail locations, 589 cultivation licenses, and 304 manufacturing licenses as of the update date, indicating the deactivations represent a small fraction of the licensed base.

Observers should monitor whether Colorado regulators issue a statement clarifying the cause of the batch deactivations—whether voluntary closures, license expirations, or enforcement action—to gauge underlying market or regulatory pressure.
