I also share your incredulity, as it is not hard to rear queens even if the matings can sometimes be suspect due to the mixture of drones.
But even then the queens reared are at least local which is a step forward from importing.
The problem in Bibba has been that proposals get shot down before they even get trialled somewhere.
I don't know what the bbka is up to but I don't see any great support emanating from there.
As soon as someone has a plan to rear queens, someone else will jump up with a 'how do you know your queen is the right sort of queen' argument.
Result - lack of concrete action.
Steve says that things have been rejigged in Bibba so I am still onboard as a supporter but end product is needed fast.

And it is not all BS as there is action from some of us, especially on the big island to the west of you.
