Buying Bees

[Maggiesdad]

Can you track them? Are they USPS? If so, give your office a heads up to call you as soon as they come in, so you can pick them up. Take a spray bottle of 1:1 so you can give them a shot of food... the holes in the syrup can are tiny, to keep travel vibrations from making a mess.

Wow, that's a long haul... you'll want to get them out and in their box ASAP. There will be dead ones on the bottom. Don't panic. Get them 1:1 syrup at once.

They are not here yet lol

No tracking info yet and no contact from the company...im going to call them today and see what the deal is.

I know! Just wanted to give you a heads up off what to expect. There will be dead ones. They can still rock and roll with 2 lbs of bees, you just need the get them out so they can do their thing.

I just hope your queen is good to go. She can pull it off with only 1lb of bees...

i hope so too it has been a lot warmer here so i dont think temps will be a problem and lots of stuff is comming into bloom so i think pollen should be good.
