As a employee of the Postal Service and a beekeeper, I can inform you that
some changes have been made with the shipping of bees.  The queens will
still be shipped by air, but colonies will be restricted to ground shipping.
    With the joint venture with FedX,  The Postal Service will use FedX
aircraft to move express and priority mail and FedX gets to set their boxes
in lobbies of certain post offices around the country.  Of course, Great
sums of money exchanged hands.  I hope this clears up any questions about
shipping of bees.  Always request that your local post office gives you a
call when your bees arrive at your destination.
