I received the package I mail-ordered from Kelley Bees at the post office this morning -seemed to be in good condition.  I hived them at lunchtime - went smoothly.  The bees were very interested in the hive, dove right in, and within a few minutes all the stragglers had moved from the package cage to the hive.  Within the half hour they were orienting themselves out front and taking off on explorations.   I placed the queen still in her cage down in the hive as there were a lot of bees seemingly frantic to get at her on the outside of her cage - I figured they hadn't quite accepted her yet.  I'll let her out in a couple days.

I had a small audience of neighbors watching the process so I took the opportunity to explain what was happening.  It is nice to have the friendly support.

It is fascinating that the bees can tolerate being mailed from one town to another, then kept in a car for a couple hours, but even with all that disruption when they are unceremoniously dumped into a hive they know exactly how to get on with business.
