Please do not worry so much. A bit of humility never
hearts when exchanging with neighbours... and others.
It seems Canada has beekeepers and breeders good
enough to have enviable reputation even outside North
America.

By the way, since Canada is ready to import queens
from the USA (tackled by SHB and AHB) I do not
understand why Canada do not open borders to European
queens where there are some high class breedeers as
well and no SHB and almost no AHB (at least for medium
and north western european countries).

It would also prevent the USA beekeepers to worry to
much.
