This bee is the most popular type of honey bee used by American beekeepers. They are very easy to work with for new and seasoned beekeepers. Italian queen honey bees start increasing their colony's population early in the spring, meaning many honey bees will be bringing back pollen and producing plenty of honey for the colony.

 

Italian bees do not swarm as much as other types of bees do. They usually don't start swarming until their second year in a hive, and only do it during the spring and summer seasons. They are also very laid back in nature and are the easiest honey bees to work with, making them ideal for beginner beekeepers to manage.

 

We also carry Italian bees for sale because they are not only popular in the United States, but are the most popular honey bee in the entire world. They are very clean bees and like to keep their area clean, which reduces the chances of disease from occurring within the colony. They are the gentlest and easiest bees to work with, hence their popularity all over the world with beekeepers.

 

These bees build impressively large hives to keep their honey and pollen in for storage. They produce large numbers of offspring and have a strong disposition, making them the perfect honey bee to work with.

 

Italian honey bees supposedly originated somewhere in Italy.
