I really should refrain from calling the bees we northern beekeepers should 
stop buying as "southern" bees. I really don't mean to dump on you all. If 
any take it that way, I apologize. Should I call them local, or what? 
Non-local? Certainly "foreign" won't do.

Southern bees are great bees...for the South. Even here, they brood up 
well, and make good honey crops. They just don't winter all that great. And 
many are very susceptible to Chalk. It's not a Northern/Southern thing. 
It's a local/imported thing.
