Is there a story to that box and it's wording?

No, those were one of the shipments that came into the Province that I had to inspect. Usually during the month of May we get 4 separate shipment, each containing roughly 3 of those boxes. Mostly looking for SHB or SHB larvae. Each cage is removed and inspected.

Zweef, that is one freaky avatar.  My eyes itch just looking at it.  And sting.  And burn just a little.
On another note, that box is hilarious!

Reminds me of our first delivery of hives, frames, etc from one of our local bee supply business.    The FedEx person brought the box to the door and said, it's not buzzing???  I hope they're not dead!
