Pros of the Italian bee (positive characteristics for beekeepers)
- gentle to manage;
- overwinters well and builds up quickly in spring;
- strong foragers;
- very hygienic;
- good honey producers;
- use less propolis than some of the darker bees;
Porch painted, rabbit eaten, and woodshed purchased
