Banat History
Banat Bees
From:
HOW TO KEEP BEES FOR PROFIT by D. Everett Lyon, Ph.D.
Published by The Macmillan Co., New York, 1913
"The Banats are a race of bees from Hungary, in appearance similar to the Caucasians,
remarkably gentle, and, best of all, are great breeders in the early spring, so when the
honey flow comes on they have a great force to gather it. They build beautiful white
combs and gather little propolis, and are so little given to swarming that some
beekeepers have claimed that they are a non-swarming race. However, their introduction
is so recent that the beginner will do well to pass them by until a thorough test shall
have firmly established their good qualities."
