Ligustica bee (Italian bee, Apis mellifera ligustica)
The Ligustica originates from Italy and is adapted to mild climates with long nectar flows. It is very prolific in brood rearing, industrious, gentle, and has a relatively low tendency to swarm, but it consumes more food during winter. Due to its high honey yield and yellow coloration, it is popular worldwide – Ligustica queens are specifically used in regions with steady nectar flows and good overwintering conditions. It is also a good choice for colony multiplication. At Bienenzucht-Profi you can buy Ligustica bees as:
