A good place to start is the BEE-L archives at:
http://listserv.albany.edu/archives/bee-l.html
A search on radiation will yield advice to check food preparation industries
and medical facilities. Irradiation facilities are not a dime a dozen, but
they are not uncommon either. I suspect a city like St. Louis might have such
a facility.

Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt if you have the time and money and have no
phobias about irradiation. However, it might be more cost effective to rotate
your combs.
