So far for me this year.
Ordered 10 packages. Arrived with bottom fairly covered with dead bees, but not more than a layer of one. All queens alive and looked good.
Installed on mostly drawn comb in ten frame deep with syrup and a frame of honey.
2 day queen release check. One queen dead in cage. Gave that hive a frame of brood and eggs from an established hive of mine. Two queens released, the rest still in cages, although all had significant amount of candy eaten away. Most cages had small pieces of new comb hanging from them. Pulled corks and placed cages back in and closed up.
2 week ( and a few days due to rain) check. 6 hives queen right. The two hives that released their queens both were queen right and had the most brood. One hive had a very small amount of capped worker brood, a tiny amount of drone brood and a queen cell with the side chewed out. Put a backup frame of brood and eggs in. 2 non queen right, one with significant drone brood and the uneven comb of laying workers, and one with a small amount of drone brood. Put frames of brood and eggs in both. Hive that had the dead queen, no brood yet, but found an opened queen cell. No sign of workers laying. Gave them another frame of eggs and brood. So those are the statistics that I have so far this year.
