Re: "Your Queen Is In The Mail"

Not sure I follow. 

You state:

> beekeepers have experienced no difference in queen "longevity" between shipped packages,  [snip]  and transported less than one mile.

But:

> shipment did not produce the effect seen by beekeepers, where it seems that few hives can keep a queen an entire season, and by researchers, where it seems that few queens can keep laying long enough to complete a study.

Are you saying "there is no difference in queens based upon any factors other than whether they were maintained by beekeepers or researchers"? 

Also, do you agree or disagree that queens don't survive as long in anybody's hives?
