I have 5 nucs ready for Queens that were shipped on Monday and no one knows were they are???
The USPS tracking # states they left Pa. Monday 1:36 am.
Our local P.O. cant even find out were they are?
My question is what should I do with the nucs if I don't get the Queens?:s

Thank You for any input.

Lay down queen excluders and combine those frames of bees back on top of queen right colonies. When your queens come pull the frames back off. Queen will be in the bottom box, your frames will be queenless and ready to go.

Thank You Pine Ridge Farms
I had not thought of that.
This is the first time I have bought Queens that needed to go through the mail!!!

Buy the way the Church at the end of my drive/lane is called Pine Ridge Church.

You could let them raise their own...

They likely have queen cells now? Just let them emerge and work thru it.....

You problem was the reverse of mine. My Queens arrived early and I had no nucs for them

If you get them, you'll have to remove the emergency cells before you install the queens. That's what I would do.
