small package compared to a "package" of bees..there is a
difference..oh,yes,the famous onion sack..shame on them..
I just got more queens from a california queen breeder(Glenn
Apiaries)....they know how to ship queen bees...not an onion sack!
..useless thread..gone over this many times on this list.

what did you want them to do..hold a burial service?
package is insured..sounds "cold",but what are they to tell you?.. remember
what I said..delivery dead or alive..package was dilivered to you..
