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

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

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.
