Yes, if you have live bees arrive Sat night on Memorial day weekend in MT, they call you at 8 am (and a Sunday to boot) and ask you to drive to Butte and get them out of their post office. The only reason we can think of, as to why they did this, was that 2 bees traveled all the way from GA, on the outside of the cage, and the post office thought that the cage had a hole in it, and that they would escape into the facility over the 2 days that they were shut. Will put them in the hive all by himself, Dad had to staple the queen strap on while he held it, but other than that, it was all Will's thing. (does anyone remember how terrified of bees Will used to be?) Dad was the biggest weenie of us all. Every time Will would walk towards him, he would squeal like a girlie, "go away, their swarming around me!" (2-3 bees and Dad loses it.) I stood under a tree in a short sleeved shirt and took photos. Who would've guessed it? Hope you all have a great holiday weekend.
