Now that Canadians are hoping to re-establish bee imports from the
continental USA in the near future, some of us are wondering how things are
going down there in the past few years.   We're out of touch.

We've heard stories about queen and package shortages and also some tales
about poor quality.  What is the truth?  Are people running strictly package
bee businesses and depopulating hives in the Fall, or is everyone wintering?
How bad are the queen shortages in spring?
