I recently saw a recommendation to only buy USDA Certified Packages of bees.


I Googled Certified, didn't find anything regarding USDA and package bees.


I do know that packages and queens and colonies shipped across state lines need a health inspection, but that's usually by state inspectors, not USDA.  So what's a USDA Certified Package of Bees?
