Here in my part of norway 99% of beekeepers have carnica bees
(carniolan?) and a few have what I believe is called the western
 european honey bee ie. mellifera mellifera.
 
A plea everyone one the list:
Could you indicate which bee race you have when you give
practical tips etc.? I know carnica, for example,
are quite different in colony development etc. from for say
 italian bees.
Such differences can be important!
