Beware of Done Deal bought a (Native Queen) Last year. Alas when she arrived she was less than stellar far too yellow to be Native stock.

Are you a member of a BKA? It may be easier to ask your local association to help you out. For example, last year in around April/May our BKA held a couple of sessions on making new queens with Apideas.
