Please consider language for paragraph 5 & 7c as recommendations rather than set standards.  Please also consider paragraph 7,I.,2.  It is my understanding that Georgia and most southern states have Africanized bees but the the federal interstate regulations require any sales of EHB be certified as clean of any Africanized bees.  I believe it prudent to work with the federal interstate regulations encouraging responsible queen & package sales from the south as these sales are likely to continue anyway.  Paragraph 7,I. 4 & 5 seems to be over management for BMP. A suggestion or consideration but not a standard practice.  Thank you for considering my thoughts.
