The Carniolan honey bee is native to Slovenia and to some regions of the former Yugoslavia, southern Austria, and parts of Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bee is the subspecies of the Western honey bee that has naturalized and adapted to the Kočevje (Gottschee) sub-region of Carniola (now in Slovenia), the southern part of the Austrian Alps and the northern Balkans. These bees are known as Carniolans, or \"Carnies\" for short, in English. At present this subspecies is the second most popular among beekeepers (after the Italian bee). It is favoured among beekeepers for several reasons, not the least being its ability to defend itself successfully against insect pests while at the same time being extremely gentle in its behaviour toward beekeepers. These bees are particularly adept at adjusting worker population to nectar availability. It relies on these rapid adjustments of population levels to rapidly expand worker bee populations after nectar becomes available in the spring, and, again, to rapidly cut off brood production when nectar ceases to be available in quantity. It meets periods of high nectar with high worker populations and consequently stores large quantities of honey and pollen during those periods. They are resistant to some diseases and parasites that can debilitate hives of other subspecies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrder your \u003cb\u003eCarniolan Queen \u003c\/b\u003etoday and experience the exceptional quality that has made us the UK’s leading supplier of live bees and queens! \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji';\"\u003e🐝\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"BS Honey Bees","offers":[{"title":"Thu 6th August - Wed 12th August 2026","offer_id":50266953515341,"sku":"carni26-0608","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 13th August - Wed 19th August 2026","offer_id":50266953548109,"sku":"carni26-1308","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 20th August - Wed 26th August 2026","offer_id":50266953580877,"sku":"carni26-2008","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 27th August - Wed 2nd September 2026 (Bank Holiday)","offer_id":50266953613645,"sku":"carni26-2708","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 3rd September - Wed 9th September 2026","offer_id":50266953646413,"sku":"carni26-0309","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 10th September - Wed 16th September 2026","offer_id":50266955481421,"sku":"carni26-1009","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 17th September - Wed 23rd September 2026","offer_id":50266955514189,"sku":"carni26-1709","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 24th September - Wed 30th September 2026","offer_id":50266955546957,"sku":"carni26-2409","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 7th May - Wed 13th May 2026","offer_id":50266935787853,"sku":"carni26-0705","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 14th May - Wed 20th May 2026","offer_id":50266935820621,"sku":"carni26-1405","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 21st May - Wed 27th May 2026 (Bank Holiday)","offer_id":50266935853389,"sku":"carni26-2105","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 28th May - Wed 3rd June 2026","offer_id":50266953187661,"sku":"carni26-2805","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 4th June - Wed 10th June 2026","offer_id":50266953220429,"sku":"carni26-0406","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 11th June - Wed 17th June 2026","offer_id":50266953253197,"sku":"carni26-1106","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 18th June - Wed 24th June 2026","offer_id":50266953285965,"sku":"carni26-1806","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 25th June - Wed 1st July 2026","offer_id":50266953318733,"sku":"carni26-2506","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 2nd July - Wed 8th July 2026","offer_id":50266953351501,"sku":"carni26-0207","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 9th July - Wed 15th July 2026","offer_id":50266953384269,"sku":"carni26-0907","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 16th July - Wed 22nd July 2026","offer_id":50266953417037,"sku":"carni26-1607","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 23rd July - Wed 29th July 2026","offer_id":50266953449805,"sku":"carni26-2307","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 30th July - Wed 5th August 2026","offer_id":50266953482573,"sku":"carni26-3007","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/7947\/0157\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_5c5fd0ad-782b-4f52-a3dd-8ec227eaf774.png?v=1745224753"},{"product_id":"collected-5-frame-nucleus","title":"Collected 5 Frame Nucleus DEPOSIT 2026","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCollected 5 Frame Spring Nucleus 2026 – Your Perfect Start to Spring Beekeeping! \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji';\"\u003e🐝\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrder Early to Secure Your Place!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eBy ordering early, you’ll secure the \u003cb\u003eearliest availability dates in May 2026\u003c\/b\u003e.

Thus we have a favourable balance compared with the average production in America or in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BS Honey Bees","offers":[{"title":"Thu 6th August - Wed 12th August 2026","offer_id":52209153540429,"sku":"essex26-0608","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thu 7th May - Wed 13th May 2026","offer_id":50270914412877,"sku":"essex26-0705","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 14th May - Wed 20th May 2026","offer_id":50270914445645,"sku":"essex26-1405","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 21st May - Wed 27th May 2026 (Bank Holiday)","offer_id":50270914478413,"sku":"essex26-2105","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 28th May - Wed 3rd June 2026","offer_id":50270914511181,"sku":"essex26-2805","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 4th June - Wed 10th June 2026","offer_id":50270914543949,"sku":"essex26-0406","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 11th June - Wed 17th June 2026","offer_id":50270914576717,"sku":"essex26-1106","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 18th June - Wed 24th June 2026","offer_id":50270914609485,"sku":"essex26-1806","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 25th June - Wed 1st July 2026","offer_id":50270914642253,"sku":"essex26-2506","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 2nd July - Wed 8th July 2026","offer_id":50270914675021,"sku":"essex26-0207","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 9th July - Wed 15th July 2026","offer_id":50270914707789,"sku":"essex26-0907","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 16th July - Wed 22nd July 2026","offer_id":50270914740557,"sku":"essex26-1607","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 23rd July - Wed 29th July 2026","offer_id":52125443227981,"sku":"essex26-2307","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thu 30th July - Wed 5th August 2026","offer_id":52125450109261,"sku":"essex26-3007","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/7947\/0157\/files\/queen_1.jpg?v=1727292087"},{"product_id":"12oz-340g-english-honey","title":"Hillside Honey 12oz (340g)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍯 Hillside Honey 12oz (340g) Jars – Runny \u0026amp; Set Varieties 🍯\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the pure taste of \u003cstrong\u003eEnglish countryside\u003c\/strong\u003e in every spoonful of Hillside Honey, lovingly crafted by our busy bees across the lush landscapes of \u003cstrong\u003eGloucestershire\u003c\/strong\u003e.
