>>bought 100 queens from Florida early this spring and I couldnt
believe how long their legs where.
Are all of them long-legged? When I raise my own queens, I occasionally get one with very long legs. In my experience, a queen like that will either perish quickly or be superceded. I've attributed it to poor development.
This is not to scare you. This may be a trait if you got 100 queens like that.
