Description

Each package of Carniolan honey bees (Apis mellifera carnica) includes approximately 10,000 live bees and one mated queen in a protective cage. The package also contains temporary feed to keep bees nourished during shipping. Spring Build-Up: Rapid – Carniolans expand brood quickly in early spring Swarming Tendency: Moderate to high if not properly managed due to fast buildup. Honey Production: Strong honey producers, especially in regions with early nectar flows. Temperament: Very gentle and calm, even more so than Italian bees. Mite Resistance: Normal; regular integrated pest management is recommended. Wintering: Excellent in colder climates – Carniolans overwinter with smaller clusters, conserving food stores.

Features

  • 10,000 live bees with a mated queen
  • Gentle and easy to handle
  • Excellent for colder climates
  • Strong honey production potential
  • Ideal balance for new or experienced beekeepers
  • Best for Beekeepers in Colder Regions

  • Bee packages are shipped via UPS directly to your doorstep.
  • Shipments take place between April and May (weather permitting).
  • Customers will receive an email notification about two weeks before shipping, with estimated ship dates, followed by a second notification once the bees are on their way.
