Her Highness, The Carniolan Queen

🐝 About Me

Greetings, dear humans. I am the Queen of the Carniolan hive — a refined lineage from the majestic lands of Slovenia. We’re known as the gentle souls of the beekeeping world, and I run a tight but calm court. My daughters are cool-headed, clever foragers who work in harmony with the seasons. We’re not ones for fuss or fanfare — just quietly making magic in the wildflowers.

Our sleek grey-and-black stripes may look modest, but don’t let that fool you — we’re pure class.

✨ What Makes Us Buzz

Mild-mannered: Perfect around people (especially small humans like James and Max).

Adaptive foragers: We don’t need a sunny day to get the job done.

Seasonal smarts: We grow our numbers only when needed, conserving energy and honey.

Communication queens: Our girls get it done without drama or diva dances.

In short: we’re efficient, elegant, and excellent producers of light, floral honey that whispers of spring hedgerows and meadows.

🧑‍🔧 Meet the Team

Foragers: My flying fleet — the elite scouts that source the best nectar.

Nurse Bees: The gentle carers who raise the next generation with warmth and precision.

Guards: Polite but firm. They don’t sting unless they absolutely must.

The Royal Attendants: My personal entourage who keep me fed, clean, and fabulous.
