I completely agree with Michael Palmer that the answer to the threat of
AHB is local-in this case-Northern queen and package production. And
since most agree that all beekeeping is local any locally produced bees
should work better in your locale for many reasons. I am very sure that
those of you with the resouces to produce Northern packages, will be
rewarded with a very large group of eager customers.
It is a lot of work but I bet it pays better than selling honey.
