*Pure Nordic bees can be very tame, but when cross-bred with other subspecies, they become aggressive and challenging to manage in later generations.
*Nordic bees are not good at defending against robbery, and Italian bees are particularly eager to rob other bee colonies when nectar flow is poor. The Nordic bees, on the other hand, are not so eager rob other colonies.

When opening the Nordic brown bee colony, you should have the same attitude as you do when visiting somebody’s home; don´t clank or kick, but work calmly, as if you were in a slow motion movie.
