I wonder if Dave has his facts right? Regs. just changed to allow import of queens from Australia, and other countries. This change was made because of a request from Australia, and it was supported by some in the US queen breeding industry. These regs. were purposely drafted to do as much as possible to prevent US imports of mites and other parasites that we do not yet have. That said, Canada has always been the beneficiary of 'special' regs. as regards importation of queens. I have to wonder if those special regs. are still intact and Dave is reading the new regs to also apply to Canada? Don't know, just a guess. -- Lloyd Spear Owner Ross Rounds, Inc.
