This postal employee and beekeeper works very hard to see that mail

on time....what happens after it leaves my hands is another story...
but I
think you owe an apology to those of us who work hard moving 5
billion
pieces of mail a day.
 
Yes, I get upset when my copy of Bee Culture comes with the cover
half
missing...but I also realize that my town begins with A which puts my
copy
on top of the bundle.
 
Next time you smash a bee by accident, remember we all make
mistakes!

Den,
 
My local Post Office have a very dedicated staff.  When ever I have
packages or queens arrive they call me first thing.  My experience
with them has been wonderful and I was in error not pointing this out
in my original message.  However the regional center in Memphis is a
different story.  For over a year and a half my issue of Bee Culture
was late.  Not by a few days but weeks.  eg the Nov issue would
arrive the first week in December.  When ever I called them to
complain they would act like  they were doing me a big favor.  The
main reason they finally did something is they are trying to get the
laws changed so they can supposedly compete against Fed EX and UPS.
So I did the all American thing and called both Senators offices from
my state and like a miracle the jerks at the regional center solved
my problem.  Isn't that amazing!!!
 
You seem to a dedicated Postal worker and if I offended you I am
sorry.
