Many of us beekeepers on Vashon Island, WA (in the Puget Sound, just west
of Seattle) will be receiving our packages (= queen + 3 lb. of workers)
this Saturday, April 7. Our present weather, and what is predicted for
the weekend, is ~ 45-50 degrees F, and rainy.
My question, and one I have received from many beeleepers here this week,
is ... When should we place our packages (that we are getting this Sat.
4/7 from Portland, via Northern CA) into hive boxes, if the weather is
cold and rainy ???????
Hold them in cages for a few days until the temps. rise ?
Any immediate/informed contributions to this inquiry are appreciated !
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Vogt
