Hello!
I am quite new to beekeeping; in fact, I won't even have my first hives until
the spring. I have heard a lot about Carniolans, and am very interested in
starting with that type of bee because of their reputation for gentleness.
However, now that I've been researching this bee, I find that there are "Old
World," "New World," and Yugoslavian Carniolans. What's the difference? I
get very different answers from each of the various apiaries I have called,
all saying that their bees, of course, are best.
Also, how does the gentleness of the Carniolans compare to the Buckfast bee,
in which I am also very interested, and the "Midnite" hybrid bee?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
