Al,
     I purchase queens from California and I live in Tennessee.  I
have had no problems with these queens.  They are shipped Piority
Mail and are only in the Post Office System for 2 to 3 days.  The
same as package bees.  So IMHO shipping queens from Texas to Mass
would not be a problem.

Tom:
 
I am curious what section of the country you live in. Merely to
determine
if sending a Queen from Texas to Boston, Mass area is a reasonable
or unreasonable distance in terms of the Queen's health & well being.
 
 
Thanks,
