Carniolan queen bees are renowned for their calm and gentle nature, making hive management easier and more enjoyable.
They are highly adaptable to varying climates, build up rapidly in spring, and are excellent foragers with strong resistance to disease. Carniolans also maintain efficient use of winter stores, making them a reliable choice for sustainable beekeeping.
You will receive one Queen in a travel cage (with fondant in the cage) and a small number of attendants. Please remember to remove the tabs at the base of the cage when introducing your Queen.
Our Carniolan Queens are collected from Slovenia directly by us and driven back - there is no public transport for our Queens!
What’s so great about Slovenian Queens? Slovenia has a very similar climate to the UK, allowing them to thrive in your hives, unlike Queens from Italy or other European countries that aren’t climatised.
Did you know that where Slovenia is a closed country, they only breed Carniolan Queens - only the best of the best for our customers!
