I'm picking a package at Mann Lake on the 5th just to get a look at the new store. I have another on order from Brushy in May at the New Columbia store.

ggileau
did ya get those bees today?
I got there about 1 o'clock today. I picked up a couple pieces of woodware and a package. Met up with my sister,her husband and daughter that live near there. haven't seen them in a few years.So off to lunch with them and back home. Good day I'd say. :)
Pretty cold and windy today, so will install tomorrow. Not worried about the bees, just the beekeeper!! :-D :-D

I picked mine up around 9:00. It indeed was a bit chilly but it got up to 50 or so, so I installed them around 4:00. Mine were good looking packages compared to last years from GA, but it was a bad spring down there last year.

Spending time with family is priceless, glad it worked out for you. I wish I could have spent more time there hanging out, I always enjoy the people from PA and upstate NY, just down to earth.

I like the grocery store type layout for product. I would bet no more than five or ten dead bees total in the package. Very nice, and over half a can of syrup left.

:) Picked up my 10 packs today around 11am and it was pretty cool. Nice store with a little bit of everything. Can't wait to go back again..

Ken you know it was a drive, but well worth it. All my girls are now home and in their new homes.

buzzbee · April 07, 2014, 06:30:47 PM

The bee packages were very good looking,Mine probably had less than 10 dead on the bottom and tolerated installation nicely.

drlonzo · April 07, 2014, 07:15:40 PM

Mine were awesome as for the package and the bees. Very few dead, however i waited to get mine hived and they were a little moody all day afterwords. However today they are very mild natured and adjusting very good.

buzzbee · April 07, 2014, 09:32:31 PM

When I got home it was blustery and cool. I wasn't worried too much about hiving the package as I was about the beekeeper getting cold. :-D :-D
Forecast for Sunday was sunny and 60 so they camped in the basement overnight.
