What we are really looking at is the time the queen with attendants can be
held in the shipping cages, from the time she first was put there.  The
variation success time of 4 to 7 days after arrival reflects that total
time.  Best to use them as early as possible after receipt, or be prepared
to "take your lumps!"

  Sometimes it is possible to arrange the timing of the shipment so that it
is not necessary to hold any over a weekend.
