Hi Carol & All

Here are some good and less good Caucasian bee properties

The Caucasian bees have an exclusive property. Their tongue is the longest
among other honey bee races. The length for Caucasian is 6.8-7.3 mm, for
Local 5.9-6.3, for Kraina 6.4-6.7, for Italian 6.2-6-5, for
Carpathian-6.3-6.7

Therefore they can take nectar from red clover saying nothing about the rest
honey bees.

They are smaller, only 90 mg
Worse egg laying, especially during nectar flow.
They are very calm
Like rob when starving
Very toil
Earlier start, later finish their working day
Negative affect of metrological circumstances is less
Usually prefer a silent requeening
They are more sensitive to honey dew honey left for wintering (Nosemathosis)

Maybe this fit only for European bees, but the main features could be
similar

Good luck
