I don't know of any beekeepers in Australia that have become financially
rich through sending queen bees to Canada.  The only richs are the
friendships generated by our trade with the people we supply in Canada.

Allen's post reminds me of a joke I was told at Apimondia in Vancouver in
September last year.  What is the difference between an Albertan and a 747
both going to Hawaii...
