Project Description

Carnica Five Frame Nucs

Our nuclei come supplied on 5 Langstroth frames whitch 3-4 frames are brood. They contain a family of bees and a Random Mated Carnica queen which is marked to the year accordingly. Each queen is fully “tested,” in that we’ve allowed her  enough time to confirm that she produces a good brood pattern.

We are proud of  our nucs!!  All our queens and nucs are fully guaranteed against failure or disease for 15 days,   if for any reason you are not completely satisfied, simply return for replacement. Losses due to improper care are of course not covered. 

Carnica Queen Characteristics:

  • Considered to be gentle and non-aggressive
  • Can be kept in populated areas
  • Sense of orientation considered better than the Italian honey bee
  • Less drifting of bees from one hive to a neighboring hive
  • When compared to the Italian honey bee, 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
  • Fast rhythm of brood production and then brood rearing reduction 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
