USPS

I read that as of the 27th of next month the US postal service will no longer ship bees. Is this true? I am new to beekeeping, but this seems like VERY bad news. What are other shipping options? Thanks.

I think you may be have information a year old here. Last year at this time we were concerned about USPS stopping the shipment of queens and packages. But that problem was overcome.

However, I could be wrong, so could you please quote your source and date it was written in case you have indeed information that I need to hit on and get information on real fast.

I did see some stuff a year ago on this. I just picked up a queen last Saturday, but it's not the 27th of the month yet.

very sorry ...I got the date wrong. It was 2001.
