Hi All,
 I am hoping that someone on the list has information on the
optimal storage conditions for package bees.  I am sure that temperature
plays a role as well as feeding the bees on the outside of the cluster
that are removed from the feeder can and can’t access moisture as well as
those bees that are in the center.  I understand that the faster the bees
get into the hive the better it is for both the beekeeper and the bees.
What I am trying to get information on is how long, and under what
conditions can I store bees in the package while waiting for fellow
beekeepers to pick them up and hive them.
