Title: Another delay--
Post by: Buzzen on May 01, 2011, 08:34:17 PM
Just found out it will be another 2 weeks for my packages to come.  Is this happening everywhere?  Must be the crummy weather we're having this year.  :-\

I finally got a package from Wilbanks on the 29th of April, just a month late.   From what I've heard the weather in the south east has been really bad for getting the packages out on time.  The dates are only estimates, some years they're a week early.

Here in Missouri we are on our 10 straight day of rain, to the South East of us its been worse.
Bees cant fly, Queens can't mate etc. Just part of agriculture !

Remember, arrival dates are always estimates.

Russell Apiary one of the larger package suppliers has had a number of his yard hit by tornadoes, and now
some are flooding.

Amen on the rain. My package is scheduled to ship May 8th. I'm hoping Kentucky (Walter Kelly) has good weather the coming week.
