Queen Shipment Schedule - 2008
Updated 05-18-08. For information on ordering queens for 2008, 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

Shipped - 1 Week Delay Weather has generally been good with a couple days each week warm enough for mating, though rain has sometimes been an issue on the warmer days. Some delays in mating have occurred because queens weren't quite mature enough to make mating flights on the day or two that was warm enough. |
| May 5th | Shipped - Some orders delayed 1 week. |
| May 12th |
Possible 1 Week Delay - I hope we are back on schedule but it will depend on the weather during the later part of the week of the 5th. |
| May 19th |
Some will be delayed. - The weather remains cool and wet delaying mating flights. It looks like we'll finally have some consistently sunny and warm weather by the end of this week which should help with future weeks. |

* 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.
