Queen Shipment Schedule - 2009

Updated 06-25-09

. For information on ordering queens for 2009, click here.

Shipping dates can be quite variable, especially early in the season when weather is temperamental. We do what we can to meet all shipping dates, but weather and other factors outside our control can often delay shipping.

Our latest shipping status is as below and is updated as soon as we know more. We do send out notifications or call when queens actually ship. (Note: You may receive a notification from USPS or UPS when we print out the shipping label. We often do this the day or two before the queens actually ship to save time when preparing packages and it is not a guarantee the queens will ship.) If you have any questions please email tarheit@honeyrunapiaries.com

Shipping Date	Comments
April 27th	Currently on schedule but it will depend on good weather the week of the 13th for mating flights. Poor weather delayed the splitting of hives to make mating nucs so virgins had to be introduced instead of cells. However, drones are plentiful so there shouldn't be an issue if conditions for mating flights improve. Shipped 2 weeks behind.

May 4th	Splits are somewhat behind but may get caught up this week (week of April 13th) Shipped - 1 week behind
May 11th	Some orders running 1 week behind.
May 18th	Shipped on schedule.
May 25th	Shipped on schedule.

June 1st	Shipped on schedule.
June 8th	Shipped on schedule.
June 15th	Shipped on schedule.
June 22nd	Shipped on schedule.
June 28th	*
July 6- Sept 7	*

* Shipment should be on time. However, it is impossible to predict weather and other factors that determine success rates and timing very far in advance.
