Hi Lloyd and Everyone,

I ran Hasting Carniolans in the 70's as well. And they formed the basis for
my small commercial bee business in Alaska's interior. I was amazed at their
uniformity in behavior which was just as Lloyd mentioned.

Out of 100 commercial Carniolans evaluated today, maybe only 1 or 2 queens
will demonstrate that classic behavior.

Incidently, they used very little propolis as filler. And they would swarm
like crazy in Alaska's 24 hour daylight. They also were great bees for
wintering indoors.

Regards
Dennis
