Do you have any evidence to back up this assertion? I did a quick look on Fauna and Kingsnake and a few major breeder sites and only found one female killer bee for sale (via NERD).

The OP asked about why females are more desired -- silly me I actually answered the question, no where did I see him mention cost - perhaps my eyes are deceiving me.

BTW -- it took me all of about 3 minutes to find a half dozen killer bees for sale and I didn't even bother looking on NERDS site.
