"In packages, there is no candy in the queen cage. The bees are
expected to feed her thru the screen."
My package supplier always puts candy in the queen cages. I deal with one
supplier regularly but have also used a couple of others on and off and
still always had candy in the cages.
I always release the queen when I put in the package, by the time they are
hived they have been with the queen long enough. It is a long way from
Georgia to Maine plenty of time to get friendly.
