Well at least photos of them exist 🤷😂 I've spent months trying to find a Carniolan breeder to buy a nuc from that doesn't want 500 bucks for it 😭😂 any suggestions would be appreciated, I still want to try them out in central Otago 👋 👍 😃
Aha! Now that's awesome to know, I'll definitely be checking that out, thanks very much for letting me know 😃👍Ottos brother Wouter Hyink over in Waikino has a good Carni line as well. He sells queens.
Ok, I'll try to locate him.thank you. I've been cautioned by a few people using them in the united states commercially that carnies are swarm prone but that's an ideal trait for splits too which is what I need to do, since I'm starting from scratch again 😂 I couldn't believe how much trouble finding someone breeding them down here I had, thanks so much for giving me a lead, I really appreciate it.Try Otto hyink in Dunedin. I get carnie cells of him. Once u go black u don’t go back. There is a lot of myths about carnies ie aggrsive behaviour and swarming. The only difference I notice compared to Italians is the queens are harder to find and they winter down in smaller clusters hence consuming less stores. They are perfect for south Islang conditions
