Breeding values for 2023 (State from 15.2.2023)
Use of genetic evaluation data for publications or commercial purposes is subject to permission by the Institute for Bee Research Hohen Neuendorf, Germany, Länderinstitut für Bienenkunde Hohen Neuendorf e.V.
The performance index is composed of the breeding value for honey yield, gentleness, calmness and swarming tendency in equal proportions.
Due to the restriction of utilisation rights by Mr. Tiesler (D.I.B.) and Dr. Kärcher (ACA), the Carnica main population will be terminated and divided among the individual countries.
For now, the calculated breeding values remain valid and are only formally divided among the country populations. From the next breeding value estimation onwards, country-specific breeding values will be calculated.
