GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Carniolan Queens
« Last post by Salvo on Today at 12:07:29 pm »Hi Folks,
A pal just phoned. She bought and just received two Carniolan queens. She IS an experienced beek, but new to Carnies.
She told me they are both *skinny*! Definitely not full-figured girls.
OK? What's skinny? I haven't seen them yet.
Any *newly mated* queen may remain skinny for some days after fertilization until her innards mature as she begins to lay. Are Carnie Queens observably slimmer than other more known races?
She's going to call the supplier, but anyone here got an opinion on this?
Thank you for your prompt response.
