Greetings Ladies and Gentleman, Hope all is going well with everyone. Nectar is beginning to flow here, but if we dont get some rain in eastern Missouri, the flow will be weak and short lived. I have a question for the list. Around here, many beekeepers have been having trouble with the postal service. Lost bees, lost queens, dead bees and queens, etc have been appearing more and more this year. Many beekeepers around here report problems with the postal service. One beekeeper's shipment of 40 or so queens sat in the airport for over a week before he got them! I was wondering if this is isolated to this area (St. Louis), or if other people have noticed an increase in problems as well. We are contacting the postal service here with our concerns. Thanks for any help you can give. Also, to alleviate congestion on the list, feel free to contact my email. Thanks! Scott
