My packages arrived today. Luckily it was decent weather, just a few rain sprinkles, then sunshine. I did have one dead queen, first time that has happened. I called and a new queen is being shipped today. Supposed to be in the 80's here this week...wahoo!
Odds are there's a queen lose in the package with the dead queen...
That is possible. I had better look closer. No matter I can put the new queen in a nuc until I am sure of whats going on.

Michael, I think you are right. I checked the hive today, did not find the queen, but they seem to be ok, drawing comb...etc. Will know for sure, if there are eggs in a few days.
