The Dark Bee has proven itself very well on nectar flows in average to poor weather and in this respect is considerably better and more active than conventional Buckfast or Carnica bees.
This means it draws out comb well even in poor to moderate weather and therefore simply brings in more honey than other local breeds, standing out with a good honey yield. In our opinion, our Dark Bee queen is also somewhat livelier than the dark queen from Finland, but at the same time more resilient. We urge caution when it comes to ‘gentleness’: in our view, a true Nordic bee will never match the gentleness of a selectively bred Carnica or Buckfast bee – otherwise it would lose out on other traits. With a good nectar flow and normal temperatures, however, the Scandinavian queens and worker bees and their offspring can be described as fairly peaceful and less ‘unruly’. In thundery weather, however, we advise against opening or working the Dark Bee colonies.

· Very productive, especially in moderate to poor weather

• Livelier than its Finnish counterpart
• Very robust and resilient
