The package bees arrived this past Friday and most beekeepers who had ordered a packaged picked them up on Saturday with the remainder picked up on Sunday. I must say I was impressed with the quality of the packages so far. The bees were in very good shape with fewer dead bees than I’ve ever seen in packages, plus the packages weighed a full 2.5-2.6 pounds of bees in the couple I checked. Very good for 2lb packages. I only got a few for myself as I really have enough bees. It’s too soon to see if the queens are as good, but it’s a very promising start.
Got to say, doing a great job on this site – These look fantastic, I hope they are very productive.
