	Carniolan honeybee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bee is the sub-species of the Western honeybee that has naturalized and adapted to the Krain region of Slovenia, the Southern part of the Austrian Alps and North Balkan.
		Carniolan honeybees are about the same size as the Italian honeybee race, but they are physically distinguished by their generally dusky brown-grey color that is relieved by stripes of a subdued lighter brown color.
		Carniolan bees are nearly as big and long as the Western European fl bees, though their abdomens are much slimmer.

		He conceded the carniolan bees were more likely to swarm but said: "Swarms may seem intimidating, but they are not usually dangerous to humans unless provoked".
		The carniolan bee was adapted to cold climates and produced a honey crop over a shorter timeframe as it prepared for a longer and harsher winter.
		The queen bee is given a puff of carbon dioxide to put her to sleep, then her sting held aside as a tiny syringe deposits the semen of about 15 drone bees into her oviduct.

		In the 1860’s the Italian Bee was brought into the U.S. and quickly became a favorite for beekeepers.
		Carniolan bees construct new comb slowly and swarm frequently.
		Caucasian bees over winter poorly, build up slowly in spring, are susceptible to Nosema disease and gum up their hives with propolis (tree resins and beeswax).

		The Carniolan bee is a grayish-fl version of the Italian bee, and its home territory is north of Italy primarily in the lower Alps of Austria and extending into the former Yugoslavia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and parts of Russia.
		The Carniolan minimizes brood production during a nectar shortage, forming a small colonies in the fall enabling it to winter on a minimum of stores, which is distinctly different from the Italian bee that requires large stores for the winter period.
		The BEST bee is the bee that best suits your style of beekeeping need and not that bee proclaimed the "best" by any writer (including me), or your friend Uncle Tom, or even the world's greatest bee scientist who may have more knowledge of honey bees than you have.

	Varroa-tolerant Italian honey bees introduced from Brazil were not more efficient in defending themselves against the ...
		A significantly greater proportion of damaged mites were found in the Carniolan bees (42.3%) and 22.5% were collected alive.The most frequent kind of damage found was damaged legs alone, affecting 47.4% of the mites collected from debris in Italian bees, which was similar to the amount found in Carniolan colonies (46%).
		The mean infestation rate by the varroa mite in the worker brood cells in the Italian bee colonies was 3.9% in June and 3.5% in July, and in drone brood cells it was 19.3% in June.
		In the Carniolan honey bee colonies the mean infestation rates in worker brood cells were 3.0 and 6.7%, respectively in the months of June and July and 19.7% in drone brood cells in June.

		These Russian honey bees that are similar to the Carniolan bee were imported into the US in 1990.
		The rest of the year is spent keeping the hive free of pests and disease, and ensuring that the bee colony has room in the hive to expand.
		Bees are calmed with a puff of smoke, that triggers a feeding response in anticipation of possible hive abandonment due to fire and masks any alarm pheromone, before the beekeeper opens the hive.

		Like in neighbouring countries bee houses are mostly concentrated in the urban environment, so transport of bees to forage, especially to the forest is widely spread.
		The Carniolan bee has a very good sense of orientation that enables beekeeping with a large number of bee colonies in stacks of transportable bee houses.
		In contrast to the neighbouring population of the Italian bee (Apis mellifera ligustica), the Carniolan bee is not inclined to robbery.

	HortNews - Apiarist Going To Germany To Fetch Bee Semen
		The semen from carniolan bees is believed to be more resistant to the varroa mite than the Italian breed of bees, which is the mainstay of the New Zealand honey industry.
		It is hoped the crossbred bees produced by the queens will stand up to varroa mites, which have been wiping out hives of Italian bees as they have spread through much of the North Island over the past four years.
		But some beekeepers have said it is likely that the parasitic varroa mites discovered in New Zealand in 2000 arrived on queen bees smuggled into the country by a beekeeper trying to "improve" the bloodlines in his hives.

		David Yanke returned from Europe recently with carniolan bee semen he is using to inseminate virgin queen bees of an Italian breed used by New Zealand beekeepers.
		Ms Lorimer said the association was waiting for a decision, expected this week, on its own MAF application for about $200,000 a year to look at developing varroa resistance in the Italian bees now in New Zealand, and other measures to improve control of the mite.
		Meanwhile, Mr Yanke will import more carniolan bee semen in August in his attempt to create close to purebred colonies which will be evaluated for honey production, temperament and, of course, their tolerance to the invasive mites.

		The bees of a Midnite queen are dark in color and extremely gentle.
		But if you had hives in a bee yard where other keepers had their hives, then the spreading of diseases and parasites might be a real concern.

		Carniolan bee and C phylogenetic lineage as a whole, is genetically poorly studied, therefore, the genetic structure of Carniolan bee population from Slovenia has been assessed by mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses.
		The bee samples of those districts were characterised with low level of genetic differentiation.

		Doubtless there are numerous subspecies of honey bee, but perhaps the most famous (in the bee-keeping world) is Apis mellifera carnica, the Carniolan bee - native of the Carniolan region of Northern Slovenia, and particularly noted for it's peaceful nature.
		I am impressed by your comments about the Carniolans and indeed were considered a gentle race of bee but are a different colour to the bees depicted in Ian's excellent photograph.
		So considering this the bees mating habits, and the fact that no bees have been imported since the advent of the parasite Varoa Jacobsoni (think I have spelt that correctly) the UK is blessed with mongrels/hybrids.
