Ligustic Queen Bees and Buckfast Queen Bees: the differences
Among the Queen Bees most requested and used by beekeepers we find mainly two types of bees:
Characteristics of the Buckfast breed
The Buckfast bee is a bee widely used in the beekeeping sector.
The Buckfast breed is a hybrid breed, therefore born from the intertwining of different breeds. This characteristic of being a crossbreed makes this type of bee particularly strong and resistant to mite parasites. Over time, the Buckfast breed has demonstrated its characteristics of strength and endurance precisely because it survived the attack of numerous parasites which in the early twentieth century decimated a large number of bees present throughout Europe.
The Buckfast breed has many strengths as a breeding bee. This type of Ape has well inherited every single value of its ancestors and has evolved in about 70 years to reach a version of very high quality and production.
Another important advantage to take into consideration is the predisposition of these bees to their sanitary quality. The Buckfast type has a tendency to keep other bees and the hive clean.
Characteristics of the Ligustica breed
As for the Ligustica bee, it is important to highlight that it is a type of bee of the Italian breed. The Ligustica breed is a subspecies of honey bee particularly in demand by beekeepers. Its origins come from the Italian territories and today the Ligustica breed is one of the most widespread in the world.
This type of bee has a strong characteristic which is that of a high survival prospect. The Ligustica bee has the ability to adapt very easily to any type of climate. Adapting to different temperatures makes its survival easy in any strip of territory, both in areas with a subtropical climate and in areas with a temperate climate.
The development and evolution of the Ligustica breed has also made this type of bees resistant even to colder temperatures, making them able to survive during the harsh winters and during the humid spring temperatures of northern Italy.
Being a honey bee, the Ligustica bee is very docile and hardworking with a tendency to produce a high amount of honey.
These characteristics and its high production have made this subspecies one of the most requested by beekeepers who have favored the export of this species all over the world and not only in the Italian territory.
