I'm picking up a package early Monday morning. The weather is supposed to be clear but cool. I'm planning to hive them Monday afternoon if possible, but am concerned about the air temp. After several days of near 80, we'll only be having highs in the lower 60s. The hive is in a sheltered location, so I don't have to worry about wind.
1--Will they get too chilled if I spritz?
2--Is there a minimum temp for spritzing?
3--I'm thinking of spritzing about noon when I get home, again about 3 pm, and then again about 6 pm--then hiving them by 7. Does this sound about right?
This is my first experience with a package. Last year I had a couple of nucs, so this wasn't an issue.
