Hi: I have read that Goldfields Apiaries, from Australia, has exported 3.000
packages bees to California to work on the almonds.
Here in Chile we produce packages bees too. I've sent packages to Spain,
Germany and Bolivia without problems.Our advantage is that we have the bees
just when the northern hemisphere needs them, February, March. We are just
finishing to harvest and I'm breeding my last queens .I begin breeding in
august my Buckfast.
But the most important thing of all is that we are the only one country in
South America that has no Africanized bees.And this is due to the
geographical isolation of our country.In the North we have the worst arid
desert
in the world, to the west we have the Pacific Ocean and to the east we have
a very high mountain range. So I think that perhaps we could export packages
to California, or queens ,I've sent to Spain, Italy France.If there is
anybody interested please contact me. I hope to receive an answer.Chile has
a Free Trade Agreement wih USA and perhaps we could do something good.

Thanks beforehands
