They told me may 9th my 4 packages would be here. emailed a few days in advance, then left 3 voicemails over the last few days and haven't heard from them. I understand this is probably their busiest time of the season and I understand that they cant predict with certainty the day the bees are going to ship but a simple "the new date is looking like ____" reply would be nice. Anyone order from them this year and receive their bees yet?

Not from Kelly's, but I'm picking up two nuc's later today.

I too was expecting an email letting me know collection arrangement, but the guys was swamped and hadn't sent them out. Responded promptly when I chased him though.

And of course when I start to complain they finally show up. Happy bees packaged well. Excited to get them installed.

I collected my two nucs yesterday - great looking strong colonies.

I'll be transfering them to their new homes tomorrow
