No they won't. trucks will be met and moved to an area away from the 
inspection station and U.S. beeks will transfer the hives. Most likely a 
border agent or APHIS inspector will be on site. A fee most likely would be 
charged.

We are not talking pollination services. The hives are simply freight. Most 
likely given a clean bill of health and inspection from the Mexican 
government services. You surely trust those guys?

Will be no different than the decades the Canada border was open.

Enough said for now! Crystal balls are not always correct on future 
predictions!
