We are receiving a couple of packages of bees this week, then we will drive to a little weekend place we have near Austin. Journey is about 3 hours, looking for advice/tips on keeping them ok, e.g feeding, keeping them cool...thanks for any advice

If you are comfortable with the ambient temperature in the vehicle then the bees should be ok...just don't have the air-conditioner or heater blowing on them. Make sure that where you place the crates that the muffler doesn't run beneath the floor at that spot and heat it excessively (I've seen some vehicles...).

Do packages still come with syrup cans installed in the cage?...if they do I wouldn't worry about them starving over the 3 hour drive.

Best wishes and have fun!
