Caucasian honey bee

The Caucasian honey bee originates from the high valleys of the Central Caucasus. Georgia is the “central homeland” for the subspecies, although the bees also can be found in eastern Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

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
