Caucasian honey bee
Beneficial for beekeeping
- Gentle and calm on the comb
- Longest proboscis, so it can extract nectar from the deepest nectar tissues, where no other species can
- Ardent brood production – raising strong colonies
- Colonies reach full strength in mid-summer, which is good for areas where the highest nectar flow is in mid-summer
- Very great user of propolis
- In its native area a better honey producer than the European dark bee
