Our Preferred Breed: Our preferred variety are Carniolans. They are incredibly gentle and easy to work with. Due to their region of origin, they are more likely to forage on cold, wet days than other types of bees and rank among the best for overwintering. In addition, they create very little propolis and build up their numbers rapidly in the spring. Carniolan bees are also adept at handling dearths and rapidly adjust brood production based on the availability of food. They are a little more likely to swarm than Italians, so it’s important to be sure they have plenty of room. When it comes to hive diseases and pests, Carniolans tend to be quite capable of fending off parasites and show good resistance to many diseases.
