Carniolan bee

The Carniolan bee (Apis mellifera carnica) is a naturally gentle and hardy honeybee breed originating from the Carniola region of Slovenia. Known for their calm behavior, they are easy to manage and highly productive in honey-making. These bees adapt well to colder climates and are efficient foragers, collecting nectar and pollen thoroughly. They have a strong resistance to certain diseases and mites, making them popular among beekeepers. Additionally, Carniolan bees tend to prepare for winter by reducing their brood production prematurely, helping them conserve resources during colder months.
