https://www.lappesbeesupply.com/carniolan-queen-bee/As far south as you are, you may want Italians. They offer free shipping if you buy 3 or more.

I'll offer up this advice. Requeening hot hives is not easy.
Kill the queen and then go back through the hive 7 days later and shake every bee, off every frame and tear down anything that looks like a queen cell. Hot hives will often try to raise their own queen even if you put a mated queen with them. They will release and kill the mated queen and raise their own. You have to get them to a "hopelessly" queenless state, meaning that they don't have anything in the hive to raise a queen from, before they will take another one. Don't inspect earlier than 7 days after taking the queen out and don't wait longer than 8 days or you could risk having an early queen hatch

If a hot hives raises a queen, she's gonna raise hot bees too.

I'd buy local queens, IF he's raising them and not buying and reselling from somewhere else. Locals will be bees that work well in your area. I just don't like pure Italians, they don't work well up here where we have a long summer dearth. They may be exactly what you need in your area.
