You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Carniolan honey bee''' (''Apis mellifera carnica'', Pollmann) is a subspecies of the [[western honey bee]]. The Carniolan honey bee is native to [[Slovenia]], southern [[Austria]], and parts of [[Albania]],<ref>((cite journal|last1=Dedej|first1=S.|last2=Biasiolo|first2=A.|last3=Piva|first3=R.|title=Morphometric and alloenzymatic characterisation in the Albanian honeybee population Apis mellifera L|journal=Apidologie|year=1996|volume=27|issue=3|pages=121–131|url=https://hal.science/hal-00891331/document|format=PDF))</ref> [[Croatia]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[Montenegro]], [[Serbia]], [[Hungary]], [[Romania]], [[Bulgaria]] and [[North-East Italy]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.apidologie.org/articles/apido/abs/1992/02/Apidologie_0044-8435_1992_23_2_ART0001/Apidologie_0044-8435_1992_23_2_ART0001.html|title=Analysis of Honey Bees from an Area of Racial Hybridization in Northeastern Italy))</ref>

==Origin==
The Carniolan honey bee is a subspecies of the [[Western honey bee]], that has naturalised and adapted to the [[Kočevje]] (Gottschee) sub-region of [[Carniola]] ([[Slovenia]]), the southern part of the [[Austria]]n [[Alps]], [[Dinarides]] region, southern [[Pannonia]]n plain and the northern [[Balkans]].  These bees are known as Carniolans, or "Carnies" for short, in English. At present this subspecies is the second most popular among beekeepers (after the [[Italian bee]]).

==Qualities==
It is favored among beekeepers for several reasons, not the least being its ability to defend itself successfully against insect pests while at the same time being extremely gentle in its behavior toward beekeepers. These bees are particularly adept at adjusting worker population to nectar availability.  It relies on these rapid adjustments of population levels to rapidly expand worker bee populations after nectar becomes available in the spring, and, again, to rapidly cut off brood production when nectar ceases to be available in quantity. It meets periods of high nectar with high worker populations and consequently stores large quantities of [[honey]] and [[pollen]] during those periods. They are resistant to some diseases and parasites that can debilitate hives of other subspecies.

==Anatomy and appearance==
Carniolan honey bees are about the same size as the Italian honey bee, but they are physically distinguished by their generally dusky brown-grey color that is relieved by stripes of a subdued lighter brown color. Their chitin is dark, but it is possible to find lighter colored or brown colored rings and dots on their bodies. They are also known as the "grey bee".

[[File:Biene auf Großer Fetthenne 06.09.11 IMG 9734c.jpg|thumb|Carnica bee on ''[[Hylotelephium]]'' 'Herbstfreude']]
Carniolan bees are nearly as big and long as the [[European dark bee|Western European black bees]], though their abdomens are much slimmer. Furthermore, the Carniolan bee has a very long tongue (6.5 to 6.7&nbsp;mm, which is very well adapted for clover), a very high elbow joint and very short hair.<ref>((cite web|url=http://tophoney.co.uk/faq/|title=About Baskir Bee, Honey|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511221722/http://tophoney.co.uk/faq/ |archive-date=2018-05-11 ))</ref>

==Character and behavior==

'''Strengths'''
*Gentle and non-aggressive
*Can be kept in populated areas
*Better sense of orientation relative to the Italian honey bee
*Less drifting of bees from one hive to a neighboring hive
*Not as prone to robbing from other hives relative to the Italian honey bee
*Able to overwinter in smaller numbers of winter bees
*Thrifty during Winter, conserving honey stores
*Able to quickly adapt to changes in the environment
*Good for areas with longer winters
*Fast rhythm of brood production and then brood rearing reduction when available forage decreases 
*Lower use of [[propolis]]
*Increased resistance to [[Diseases of the honey bee|brood diseases]]
*Good build up for areas with strong spring [[Nectar source|nectar flow]] and early pollination
*Forage earlier in the morning and later in the evening, and on cooler, wetter days
*Workers live up to 12% longer than other sub-species
