For many years (almost 100!) a commercial beekeeper near here in frigid
upstate NY kept only Caucasian.  They had 3,000 hives for many years, but
now run around 1,500.  They liked them because of the small brood nest
during the winter, compared especially to Italians.  Then when Cobey's New
World Carniolans came along they switched because of greater availability,
excellent wintering, and superior honey gathering.
