The Honey Factory

[Clearwater Chicken]

Carniolans are a dark bee. They are good at carrying through the winter but my experience is that Carniolans are poor honey producers.

i think they were Italian carnolian crosses. but i hope they produce honey!

I have a question for all the beekeepers here. Do you prefer light honey bee queens that are mostly orange or dark honey bee queens that are mostly black?

I don't even know what my queen looks like! I just know she is in there some where doing her thing!

If you got an Italian queen, it probably looks like this only without the paint.

My queens are beautiful, of course I haven’t see the one since I put her in the hive. I have thought about buying a marking pen for her.

Then go on a hunt for her, I use to enjoy playing “where’s Waldo”.

Maybe I could start a Queen bee marking service to help offset the cost of the markers.
