Our Carniolan queens are sourced directly from our trusted suppliers in Slovenia, the native home of Apis Mellifera Carnica, ensuring pure genetics and authentic traits. They are collected by us, avoiding any public or commercial transport.
Carniolan bees are highly valued for their calm nature, rapid spring build-up, and ability to thrive in cooler, cloudier conditions. They are excellent for efficient use of food stores, overwintering in smaller clusters, and foraging even when the weather is less than ideal. These queens are especially popular with beekeepers looking for gentle colonies that are both hardy and highly productive.
