I was trying to put the blame on the post office rather than the queen 
producer. I agree that too many queens are shipped when they have only 
laid a few eggs. there was an publication years ago that did a study on 
queen longevity by how long in the mating nuc and the longer she was in 
the mating nuc the longer she lasted in the other hive.I think queens 
should not be shipped until they have their own capped brood.
