Ouch Mann Lake
« on: May 23, 2021, 10:26:00 am »
There is a lesson to be learned here, but we will need more information than what is given in this story. https://www.yahoo.com/news/shipment-containing-over-million-bees-152658482.h
Instead of paying UPS to ship, I would have hitched up a trailer and drove to Pennsylvania to pick those bees up.

So sad.  So frustrating.

The article calls them "shipping boxes" but my guess is they were packaged bees.  I have gotten numerous emails from Mann Lake advertising packaged bees. I am surprised any of the bees were left alive.
