Orvette, what a bummer. Perhaps she may fly back, you never know, and I surely do hope so. That is so surprising that you are so close to where the Kona Hawaiian queens are raised that there is such a long time to get one on order. They are probably too busy exporting the queens all over the world to pay closer attention to those that are close to them. Sorry about that for you, it is sad. Have a wonderful day, great health.
