the shipper pays for the bees and you will have to pay for the additional
shipping costs.

maybe..

if the bees are not provided with proper "ventilation" or the sugar can was
"jarred" to many times,the bees could have "drowned"..were they in a massive
"clump"?..were they saturated with sugar?.
Unfortunately,at this point it doesn't matter..you need to call the bee
supplier and order more bees.
