Queen Shipment Schedule - 2011

Updated 05-15-2011

. For information on ordering queens for 2011, 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. Note: Temperatures of 69F or higher without rain, high winds, etc are needed for mating.

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

* 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.
