You might be interested in knowing that Canada cannot import NZ bees this year because US won't let the plane land in Hawaii. A try for a rout the other way through Japan produced no results also. We here in PEI Canada are also in the enviable position of being disease free. Due to the severe winters however we have a 30% loss in overwintering. Can you suggest where I can find up to date information on this subject? Harvey Hyde [log in to unmask]
