Lewis Tandy researched importing bees from Canada.  He says that it is relatively easy, but may be expensive.

A buyer makes arrangements with Canadian supplier. b. Bees must be accompanied by a CFIA issued export certificate issued no more than 10 days prior to the shipment which states that the bees are of Canadian origin. There is probably a fee involved with this certificate.c. I suggest going to the CBP website, download CBP form 7593, entry manifest and fill it out. An extra copy of the sales invoice may be good enough, and the CBP inspector may not want either one. But it is better to have it than to have to scramble about for one and fill it out while bees are cooking in the sun.d. If the importer goes over $1250 worth, a customs broker must be hired to handle the entry. If you are going to buy that much stuff in Canada, make arrangements with a broker ahead of time.e. Fish and Wildlife may have an interest in the bees. I haven’t determined that yet.f. At the border, CBP officer first asking questions may refer you to an Ag specialist, may refer to FWS inspector, should definitely collect the CFIA issued cert. and may collect the manifest as record of the entry. Then CBP has responsibility to contact APHIS headquarters to let them know the shipment entered the US – usually done after the shipment is released and driver is well down the road. And be forewarned: all other entry requirements such as personal identification, vehicle id., only legal drugs and guns, etc. are in play. And no matter what is written or expected, a border inspector may at any time at his/her discretion ask more questions, require more inspection, require formal entry (hire a broker), etc.
