Can Queens be imported from Georgia?

Do you mean Georgia in the USA or Georgia in Russia?
I just couldn't resist!
Most of the package bees you purchase have ties to Georgia or Florida.

I believe that they are the same company referenced in the 'Consumer Reports' section, so 'yes'.

Not really on topic here... but I had a Caucasian queen a few years back... The wax they produced was absolutely the most beautiful yellow wax I have ever seen. Is that a typical trait? Also they were a little hot. I do not know the source.

I believe the Alabama place may have been Bolling Bee.

Whats up here? What happened to all the bad stories about Long Creek Aparies. Bee source are you being anti free speach or what. The post you deleated had left a question in my mind on weather I would buy from them. Whats up Bee Source? Are they reputible or not? Better yet ,ARE YOU REPUTIBLE?

I believe you're just confusing threads. Three threads along the same lines are now running in three different locations. I think the thread you're looking for is here:

No, you cannot import Mountain Grey Caucasians from overseas, it is against federal law. The best source of Caucasian bees is the Homan family in Mississippi. He maintains one of the lines that was used to breed the old Midnite bees. Can't find his number, but I believe it is in other posts.
