Why Carniolans? Because They Excel Where Other Bees Struggle.
Carniolans are known for:
-
Outstanding winter hardiness
-
Rapid spring buildup
-
Explosive foraging when nectar hits
-
Excellent honey production
-
Strong resistance to tracheal mites
-
Superb comb building
These bees thrive in cooler climates and are more likely to forage on cool, damp days when other bees stay tucked inside. When nectar becomes available, they shift into high gear—brooding up fast and maximizing honey flows.
