There are only two or three suppliers of queens in Mississippi.  It sounds
like the beekeeper you visited has the " golden red heads ", which are
acutally cordovan bees. Dean Breaux sells them as cordovans, because that is
all they are.  Just look in the ABJ for who ever sells the golden red head
and 674 strain of Italians if you want the bees from Mississippi.
