Hi:
We've had lots of discussion about bringing in bees to the U.S. for New
Zealand, Australia. I'd like to know what the current status is regarding
export of bees from the U.S. into other countries.
I'd guess we'd have to break this into three categories:
Import of U.S. Queens
Import of U.S. Packages of bees with a queen
Import of U.S. colonies (in the hive)
No doubt about the Canadian stand on this. But I saw a message that
suggested that U.S. queens were sold in the U.K. Is that correct? Years
ago, U.S. queen producers sold queens to South America.
However, in these days of mites, small hive beetle, africanized bees,
etc.-- who, if anyone, allows bees in from the U.S.?
Thanks
Jerry
