To have the disagreeable property during the theft period of following a beekeeper along the apiary. They are more prone to proliferate than Italian bees and beekeepers. The honey seal of Dutch bees is whiter than Italian or yellow bees.
Dutch bees
They are more prone to proliferate than Italian bees and beekeepers. The honey seal of Dutch bees is whiter than Italian or yellow bees. It is easier to shake the Dutch bees from the frame while pumping the honey. They are easier to move a short distance than Italian bees. In general, Dutch bees are less irritable than Italian bees, but they sting more than Italian bees. Even a true German or English bee, found in central Europe, southern France, and the UK, is sometimes considered an Italian bee, common in northern Italy. Beekeepers in America and Europe do not like real Dutch bees, raised in America. Before, they thought that there are two types of black bees in the United States, but some believe that there is only one type that has a Dutch origin. Bees in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana vary in color (from black to brown). These bees are more prone to theft than purebred Italian bees, but they both provide the same collection of honey when there is an abundance of nectar, harvesting black honey, like buckwheat.
German bees (brown)
found in central Europe, southern France and the UK, are sometimes considered Italian bees, common in northern Italy. They are a bit lighter than Dutch bees. Black bars of German bees are fringed with yellow fluff on the abdominal segments, making them brown. In the south of France, German bees are ubiquitous, they are easy to endure the smoke, they do not flow and do not randomly gather on the frame, as the Dutch bees do in America. German bees are hardy and disease resistant. While American black bees suffer from European foulbrood, true French bees are as resistant to the disease as American (Italian) bees. Cowan, Simmins and a few other most influential British beekeepers prefer Italian bees over English brunettes. However, Italian bees are not that common in the UK, as in America. There are several other varieties of black bees, which are considered better than the Dutch or German brown bees. Among them we can call the bees of Krajina, Caucasus and Banat. These bees were imported to various countries, including America. It should be noted that the bee of Krajina, Caucasus and Banat is more peaceful than any type of black bee, it gives the same flow of honey as black bees and in many ways they are comparable to Italian bees.
