If these are Weaver All American bees from Navasota, TX you're getting some real good bees. The most beneficial thing you're getting in my opinion is a superb queen. The Weavers have a reputation for producing superior queens and including them in their packages according to two old timers that I know. Since the queen will be the mother of your hive, you want one of the best. I think you may have one of the best. Good luck with your bees! They should be gentle and prolific. Ted Wout Red Oak, TX
