The article summarizes the latest research on Carniolan bee population using genetic, proteomic, bioinformatics, morphometric and ethological approach. Carniolan bee population in the Republic of Slovenia is placed into the context of neighboring populations A.m.carnica in Carinthia, Northern Italy and Croatia. The genetic results indicate a relatively high diversity of the population, which can not be furthr structured in ecotypes, but is clearly separated from the population A.m.carnica in Croatia. Behavioral parameters allow the separation of the Carniolan bee from A.m.ligustica.
