I am new beek this year. I have been told more than once to see if she is released in 3-4 days. If not put small hole in candy and wait 2 more days. Let bees release her. If you release her to early they could kill her. I was installing my first pkg and the queen that was shipped with them flew away on me. I went and got another within a day, installed her went back two days later to see if she was released. She was not so I thought I would help. I opened the screen, at first all seemed well, then some bees that were not on the cage came from in the hive and I think were trying to kill her.
I wasn't sure so I put hive together and left. 3 days later no queen and only a handfull of bees remained. Started over. Just Info.
