Supplier has nucs available mid-June — too late to start this year or should I jump?

Second year but effectively restarting — lost my only colony over winter (long story, mostly my fault, we've all read my chalkbrood thread). Local supplier in Galway just posted overwintered-queen nucs available for collection next weekend, which lands me mid-June with a five-frame start. Everyone says 'get bees in April/May' and I missed that boat grieving hive one. So: is mid-June genuinely workable in the west of Ireland, or am I buying an expensive winter deadout? Our main flow here is basically over by end of July aside from whatever the brambles do, and I don't have drawn comb to give them — that all went in the fire with the old frames. If I do it, what does success even look like by October? Genuinely asking for the realistic version, not the catalogue version.
