Title: My Carniolen bees are robbing the italians in this cold weather
Post by: Vicken on November 25, 2016, 11:16:10 AM
I realised that carniolen bees like robbing  honey from other collonies without making any damage,  they don't have intention to kill other collonies, they just like honey

Which bees do you like better Carniolen or Italian?

Usually it's the Italians robbing the Carniolans... Carnis are much less prone to rob than Italians... but then they are all mutts at this point...

I realised that carniolen don't kill other hives just like professional thiefs, they don't attack the bees just still honey

Robbers will always kill the hive they are robbing eventually...

So is this post also implying that Carnis can fly at slightly lower temperatures than italian bees?

I don't know if anyone implied it, but yes, they do in my experience.
