>>Also, of the 6 packages I received this spring, 3 have superceded.  They were SMR queens.  Anyone else having this problem?

Not with SMR but I ordered a NWC queen a few weeks ago from a reputable breeders.  She was tiny (it seemed the attendants were larger) but I had to install her.  She has been superceded.  It's seems like a waste of time and money but I guess this happens.  I wish breeders had better acceptance criteria for the queens they ship.

I am thinking about raising my own queens next season.
