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.
