Not a problem at all on domestic US flights, but it is absolutely certain to
get you fined if you try it on an international flight, as the paperwork
required is enormous, and the stock answer is "no".
Several researchers have tried to merely import drone semen into the US, and
been rebuffed by USDA-APHIS, who does little about bees other than prevent
legitimate credential researchers from major institutions from working to
improve our genetic diversity.
There is the old "fountain pen trick" for those who are truly desperate to
cross borders with queens. 'nuff said.
Clearly, one wants to be carrying individual 3-hole cages with attendants
for each queen, so that one does not present the TSA with a box that cannot
be easily opened. The TSA likes to open things and look inside. Battery
boxes are NOT suggested, as opening them in a brightly-lit airport security
area is sure to send lots of attendants straight to the ceiling, and you to
"secondary screening".
