OHB Carniolan Queens
Carniolans are known for their winter hardiness, rapid spring buildup, and exceptional honey production. They show excellent resistance to tracheal mites and are great comb builders. OHB has several sources for instrumentally inseminated breeder queens. The queens we produce from these breeders are open-mated with all of our stock for genetic diversity and hybrid vigor.
- OHB queens are Certified free from Africanized Genetics
- OHB is Certified free from Small Hive Beetle
Carniolan traits:
