4.They exist in Australia already. It is not necessary to import fresh
stock.
I did not know they existed in a pure form in Australia. They would then be
fairly easy to get imported and the cost would be in getting the export
permit from the Australian inspection service ( approx. $120 an hour to
inspect for the long list of items needed inspected for to export to the
U.S.) and then shipping with either a large queen order or with a package
shipment.
Shipping a single queen is too expensive.
Cost would be involved but not the $4-5000 initial investment of bringing a
single A.mm queen through the Australian inspection service into Australia.
