I'm curious about what sorts of pesticide exposure the Georgia cell
builders are exposed to.  At least some of the California producers who I
know use colonies that have no exposure to ag chemicals (Montana clover in
summer, Calif foothills otherwise, no almond exposure).  Long life of
marked queens.  Premature failures normally only with early queens mated
during unfavorable weather.
