> The fad has evaporated, the hipsters have moved on ... This year's cooperative package run did not even fill a Volvo v70 wagon, so fall splits are also working well.
another story down in Bryant Park
The truck’s back door opened to reveal its cargo: 3 million Italian honeybees. They did not seem that happy after having endured a 15-hour drive up from Georgia, but Reife was delighted, as he examined the hundreds of wood-and-screen boxes, each one holding more than 10,000 bees.
He picked out two boxes. His mother paid the bee man $150 apiece for them and drove them off to Long Island, where the family keeps hives. They were among roughly 150 beekeepers who flocked to Bryant Park for the bee delivery, to replenish hives across the city and the region: on building rooftops, in small urban backyards and sometimes even indoors.

Assuming they did the math right, that comes out to 300 packages ... more than would fit in a Volvo ...
