The Carniolan honey bee is native to Slovenia and to some regions of the former Yugoslavia, southern Austria, and parts of Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. Character and behavior Beneficial Considered to be gentle and non-aggressive Can be kept in populated areas. Sense of orientation considered better than the Italian honey bee race Less drifting of bees from one hive to a neighboring hive When compared to the Italian race, they are not as prone to rob honey Able to overwinter in smaller numbers of winter bees; honey stores are conserved. Able to quickly adapt to changes in the environment Better for areas with long winters Rhythm of brood production very steep. Brood rearing is reduced when available forage decreases Low use of propolis Resistant to brood diseases For areas with strong spring nectar flow and early pollination Forage earlier in the morning and later in the evening, and on cool, wet days. Workers live up to 12% longer than other breeds Not beneficial More prone to swarming if overcrowded Low ability to thrive in hot summer weather Strength of broodnest more dependent on availability of pollen Unless marked the dark queen is difficult to find More at: http://en.wikiped..._honey_bee Beekeeper from Slovenia
