How many did you buy?  You mean a million bees?  Or a million packages?

I get mine this Saturday...   hives all set to go...  Can't wait...  wow!!  a million packages..   now that is a lot of bees....   not so sure you could put a million together these days...    wouldn't that be a package from just over half the hives in the country???    :)

Maybe just go for a half million to start...  LOL!!   let's see, you would also need a million queens...  3# pkg X 1 M = 3 M pounds...   now that would be an operation!  But for 500 hives you don't need 1 million packages...

Good luck with your bees this year!  John
