Brood frames demonstrating
excellent genetics.

Carniolan bees are well known for their ability to winter well in severe climates and for their quick spring build-up. They will work in slightly cooler conditions than the Italians will. Carniolan queens keep a very tight brood nest with heavy stores of honey. These black queens are mated to our Italian drones to provide a hybrid colony with beautiful brood patterns and highly productive hives. Artificial insemination is used to maintain and enhance this stock.
