Ray-
I ordered two queens from Kona. One of them "disappeared"
quickly and was replaced domestically. The other, though, went
on to produce a have that returned a great surplus. I liked
the latter, and until I read your meassage, I thought the casualty
was a problem with introducing the new queen. I was lured to the
Kona queens because I hoped to ensure a mite free queen. I still
like that idea.
