I recieved  queens from Texas where the queen cages were little splinters of
wood in a green onion sack with one very dead queen and one very beat up one.
It appeared that they were run over by a platform truck or fork truck.
Weavers replaced them of course.\
However the postal guys made no mention of the damage- just heres your bees.
