I've been shipping queens for quite a few years now and haven't run into any place in the lower 50 where I couldn't ship, but I did finally run into one shipment this week that they wouldn't except by Express mail, though they would by Priority mail.
That said, I've never been able to find a list of these live delivery exceptions on the internet anywhere, but the local office provided me with a document listing the zip codes where they would not ship bees to by Express and or Priority mail. If anyone knows if they have an official list posted I'd love to know.
I was told they provided a phone number to another beekeeper so he could call before each shipment, but I ship way to many some weeks to call on each one.
If anyone wants to see the list I was provided, I've posted it here:
