 I live in a small community at the northern part of
 Los Angeles, and the post office has always called as
 soon as packaged bees arrive (on Sundays too!). I

 out of their building as soon as possible... >>


    Our post office has been extraordinarily careful too. And they call on
Sunday, as well.  It may be because it is a small town, and they get a quite
a kick out of us nutty beekeepers.  It might also stem from the day I told
them there was a couple thousand dollars worth of bugs in that hummin' li'l
box....
