Queen Bees I come bearing tips & tricks
I want to bring awareness on this issue. I am a queen breeder who sells queen bees. I recently listed them for sale on Google Shopping. Google Shopping tried to shut down my account for doing so.
I looked up information online and found this and would like everyone to bring it to attention as this I believe is unfair practice and inappropriate behavior on Google's part, only allowing companies like MannLake to list their queens, but smaller businesses to be flagged for suspension.
Please do not delete my post, this is about exposing the unfair practices on Google against small beekeepers and queen breeders and it needs to be brought to light.
Here is proof.

I’ve run into the same issue on farcebook marketplace. I list as selling a complete five frame nuc box. My queen rearing is small scale enough that I can find homes for all my queens through the bee clubs.
The response you received reads like it came from a bot. I don’t know how you can get a human to respond.
