<I have heard that Ohio beekeepers have been collaborating to raise queens that are acclimated to that latitude.>
The Ohio Queen project is sponsored/coordinated by the Ohio State Beekeepers Association. There are regional coordinators who might be able to recommend a supplier. Contact info is on the ohiostatebeekeepers.org Web site.
I only keep 8-10 hives, but have purchased some good NWC queens from Tim Arheit, one of the regional coordinators. His Web site is honeyrunapiaries.com.
