I think they ship on Mondays. I'm in NY, they're in Ohio, and I got mine on Wednesday.
How much did they cost you? Is it too late to start a new hive in Michigan. I'm new this year and don't know too much yet.

They were $100 + $30 shipping--which is kinda steep, but 1. That was pretty much the real shipping charge ($26), and 2. I did get to keep the nuc boxes. Since I now have five frames of brood and honey and lots o' bees, I figure they're getting a stronger start.
Dunno if it's too late where you are. I'll probably feed and feed and just hope to get them built up rather than going for honey this year, since I started so late. But I'm a total newbee myself. :)
