Carniolan Queen Bee Mated
Queen Qualities - Bred from lines by Pollmann, Slovenia, our Carnica queens produce bees that are very well suited to our UK climate. They over-winter well and carry a smaller cluster of bees through the coldest periods, which is a clever strategy as this means they do not need quite as much food as some of the other breeds and strains of bees available. They have a superb temperament, we have received so many emails telling us how the Carniolan bees are a pleasure to handle and require very little or no smoke during a hive inspection.
These F1 Mated Queens originate from our European partners. We often receive feedback telling us how the Carniolan bees are a pleasure to handle and require very little or no smoke during a hive inspection however they are a very prolific bees and need a lot of space.
All our queens are naturally mated, they come in a queen travel and introduction cage with attendant workers, all queens are marked.
