I would wonder why you would use terramycin with your new bees... if you
are installing a package.  Terramycin controls foul brood - I think - and
in the package there is no brood.
 
On the other hand, Bob Cox... the Iowa State Apiarist... suggests using
Fumidil B which is used to control nosema which may be a problem due to
the stress of shipping.
 
Just a thought.
