Caucasian bees also come from more northern climates in Europe which makes them a good choice for our northern climates here in the states.  They possess a longer proboscis witch allows them access to certain flowers that the nectar is too deep for a normal western honey bee. Generally very gentle with big brood patterns.

The Carniolan are a popular breed due to very gentle temperament and early spring buildup.  The Carniolan bee comes from Northern Europe and because of that tends to have more cold tolerance.  Although all bees are in breeding programs to be mite resistant, the Carniolans seem to be better at it.

Italian are generally know for their quick brood buildup and honey production.  Our experience with these Italian packages is that they are very  gentle and workable.

These packages are coming out of Vidalia, GA.  We have worked with this package producer over the past few years and they produce some of the best packages we can find out of the south.  We have experienced a high percentage queen acceptance and colony establishment.

Bees are agriculture and Queen rearing and package production are weather dependent.  Pickup date may vary depending on the weather.  As we get closer we will email or call with exact delivery time.  Please make sure you include a contact phone number and email address with your order. Don't be afraid to call before you head out on a long journey to pick up your bees.
