I'm getting my bees on Wednesday and I'm so excited. Problem is it's supposed to rain on Wednesday. How long can the bees stay in their 3 lbs shipping box? (I plan on straying them with sugar water to help)
I am using a Top bar hive, I've heard of people just removing the queen cage from the package and hanging it from a few bars. And NOT shaking the bees out of the package but just placing the package in the hive and closing it up? Do you think I could do this if it's raining? What if I put up umbrellas over me and hive?
I don't want my new bees to have to sit in the garage rather then their new hive. Any help would be great thanks!
