Apis Mellifera Carnica

The Carniolan honeybee comes from the central European country of Slovenia. They are gentle, non-aggressive honeybees which allows them to be kept in and around populated areas. Carniolan bees are also known for their ability to adapt to different climatic conditions and landscapes and generally speaking, overwinter well in the UK.

Affectionately known as the 'grey grizzly bee', they are easily handled, have an excellent temperament, and make ideal bees for new or inexperienced beekeepers.
