I believe the supplier you speak of takes his bees to South Carolina. I
have a friend who used to take his bees to the same place...pre-dating
Robbie's move down. The "German Black" bee was well entrenched in that part
of the state. When he let his nucs raise their own queens, some were
particularly nasty.
