Apis
Mellifera Caucasica is autochthonous (the original sub-species)
to the eastern end of the Black sea coast which is called
Macahel area which has untouched and unique natural flora.
These bees are larger & darker than those from the lowland
region. The Caucasion Bee is noteworthy for length of its
proboscis, being the longest of all the mellifera races.
They are
lead-gray in colour, very gentle and swarm infrequently.
Therefore they collected much propolis, their spring development
is slower than the other races but they build up strong colonies
during summer and produce much honey. They tend to rob the weak
colonies.
It has the
longest proboscis which is 7.2mm. Drones have dark hair and
queens are dark and harder to find. They winter well.
Caucasians,
freqently called gray Caucasians are the major economic races of
bees kapt worldwide.(The Caucasian race of bees that thrives
naturally in the area was a genetically unaltered, pure bred
race.The queen bee is sought by beekeepers throughout Turkey for
its hardworking qualities & high honey production capacity.)
