>>Who says there is no AHB in Norway? <...> Queens travel in pockets a lot more than most will admit.

I'm curious.  Wouldn't the x-ray machines at airports be detrimental to caged queens?  (Of course, most train stations, bus stations, and probably ferries and sea ports don't use x-ray machines...)

I recall the US postal service stopped shipping bee packages when they x-rayed all their packages during the anthrax crisis because the x-rays would damage the queens (and the bees?).
