This is no reflection on the service of pigeon mountain. I give the postal service 1 star for service, my bees were 4 days late, their food had been dumped out and the bees were coming out of the crate when they arrived. Of the half that were left, half of them were dead. The remaining bees that have managed to survive have done a wonderful job at building the colony back up. They have 3 full frames full of brood in less than a month. We are disappointed that we basically have to start with a smaller colony than we expected. The bees that survived (aprox 2000) are doing great tho.
