I put four packages of bees in one week ago and went to check to see if the
queens had been released yet. The first three were fine but the fourth still
had the queen in the cage. All the sugar was gone from the cage and so many
bees in the cage you could hardly see the queen. About 60% of the bees from
this package was also missing. I did get her out of the cage but she moved
real slow. My friend and I had an extra queen and we installed it with what
bees were left and took the queen from the package out. Comments anyone?
