Recieved my Sunkist Cordovans from Russell apairies yesterday. They were appx. 2 weeks later than originaly disscussed and I made several emails to Russells that were not responded to however, They did an excellent job of packaging them for shipment and I have to say I was acctually suprised that the queens and all the attendants arrived alive with the opprissive heat we have been experiencing, and they all seemed very healthy and vigirous. I kept them in my closet waiting for the evening cool to install them and I could acctually hear them buzzing as I entered the closet. I can not yet say how they will preform but am impressed with their packaged arrival and activity. Brad
