Before shipping, our beekeepers thoroughly inspect every colony for health, vitality and colony strength. An official health certificate is, of course, provided.

The Carnica bee, Apis mellifera carnica, is one of the most popular bee breeds in Europe. It is especially valued for its peaceful nature, good adaptability and reliable performance in practical beekeeping.

The Sklenar purebred line combines qualities that are particularly attractive for both beginners and experienced beekeepers:

• Gentle and calm – pleasant to work with at the apiary
• Low swarming tendency – easy to manage with suitable beekeeping methods
• High-performing and hardworking – good colony development and strong honey yield
• Steady on the comb and easy to inspect – calm work on the frames
• Resilient and winter-hardy – robust in changing weather conditions
• Vital and stable – balanced development with good adaptability
• Purebred quality – ideal for beekeepers with high standards for breeding and genetics

With a Carnica Sklenar purebred nucleus colony Langstroth, you create the foundation for successful, calm and sustainable beekeeping.

Langstroth Size – Internationally Proven and Flexible

Our Carnica Sklenar purebred nucs are supplied on Langstroth frames. The Langstroth size is one of the most widely used hive systems internationally and is especially popular with beekeepers who value a flexible, efficient and well-standardised frame system.

The nuc can be placed directly into a suitable Langstroth hive. This makes it easy to transfer the frames so that the colony can continue working after installation without unnecessary disturbance and quickly expand the comb.

Frame dimensions at a glance:

• Top bar length: 482 mm
• Bottom bar length: 448 mm
• Height: 232 mm

This makes the Carnica Sklenar purebred nucleus colony Langstroth the right choice for all beekeepers looking for a high-quality young colony in Langstroth size.

Carefully Prepared for a Safe Start

Each Carnica Sklenar purebred nucleus colony Langstroth is assembled with great care. Our beekeepers ensure a balanced ratio of brood, food and bee population so that the young colony can develop steadily after being transferred.

The combination of 3 brood frames, one food frame and one frame under construction provides the colony with a solid foundation for further growth. After installation, the nuc can quickly expand, increase brood areas and prepare optimally for the coming season.
