Hello Douglas,
Packages this time of year are dubious at best.
Why don't you consider buying a nuc. Nucs are way ahead of packages
to begin with whereas they are an established colony.
By the end of June the nuc will be at least a month ahead of
packages. I have names and telephone numbers of several nuc
sellers right here in NH. You can look them in the eye when
you buy. This is a big plus in my book.
If you need the information soon call me at home.
