Subject: Help, please!

Our bees weren't supposed to arrive until Monday, but they arrived
today, and my husband (the one who actually knows anything about them)
is on call today. He isn't answering his pager, so he's probably
swamped; there's no telling when he'll actually get a spare minute to
call me. Please tell me what on earth to do with these bees to keep
them healthy until he gets back, which won't be until tomorrow!

I just got them home from the post office about 5 minutes ago. I know I
should feed them sugar water, but I don't know in what concentration or
how I feed it to them. I have them on the shaded side of the house
where they have plenty of ventilation and aren't in the sun.

Please advise, if any of you are online this am. Thanks!
