Cobey’s New World Carniolan bees also draw international acclaim. Wrote Honey Run Apiaries of Delphos, Ohio: “Our breeder queens are obtained directly from Sue Cobey’s New World Carniolan Breeding Program. These queens have been selected for productivity, rapid spring buildup, overwintering ability, tracheal mite resistance, hygienic behavior, pollen collection, gentle temperament and high brood viability. We have been impressed with their performance and with their calm, gentle nature they are a pleasure to work.”

how long has that been in place ?

 

[Norton]

From the mainland I think about 1986. From Hawaii since May 2010.

In that case it is posible that they have made it into the EU.
The breeding program for these and the sale of them have been running for yrs.

S cobey . introduced New World Carniolan bees in 1982.

Given all the information recently about inbreeding in the States why would anyone even contemplate importing from there?

Or am I missing some really important attribute?
