I received 10 queens yesterday. They we're shipped in 3 hole California style cages. They had 5 attendants in each, but 3 or 4 cages had several dead attendants. The queen candy was 1/3 consumed from the inside.
Will the attendants eat the candy while banked in a hive? Or is this an indication that they have been out of the bank for a long time? Queens look ok, we shall see.
Those of you that buy large volumes of queens, is this normal?
