I can speak to the question if I interpreted it correctly.
One of the losses with long-distance transport from, let's say, New Zealand or Australia compared to the U.S.... There would be lower risk coming from a shorter distance, but I will also point out that Canada has successfully imported bees from Australia and New Zealand for decades now. Generally, those supply chains are quite good in bringing in packages. Occasionally, there can be losses, which are absorbed by the providers.
Transporting bees at shorter distances is inherently less risky, but the Canadian beekeeping industry has worked with suppliers in overseas locations to successfully transport bees from other continents.
