So far, we've had the U.K. and E.U. viewpoints, a report that S. African
does not allow the importation of live bees from the U.S., and one
documented case of queens going to France.

I know that we sell a lot of bee equipment to the middle east, but does
anyone send bees there?  Still waiting to here from someone in South
America.

So far, it looks like the only U.S. suppliers who can sell outside the U.S.
are the producers in Hawaii, with possible exception of a few "research"
queens.

Thanks again, this may warrant a note to the bee mags.
