The Ligustica bee is a very gentle breed, ideal for beekeepers seeking ease of management. The queen is characterized by high egg-laying and strong brood nest development, generating a large bee population.

-It stands out for its excellent foraging behavior, with outstanding performance in temperate and warm climates.

-It shows good hygienic behavior.

-The queen is reddish and of large size.

-The workers are light yellow, which makes them easy to identify.

Management considerations:

• High winter consumption due to the large population it maintains.

• Lower natural resistance to varroa compared to other breeds.

• In spring, it may show a tendency to swarm, so careful space management is recommended.
