On March 31, 2013, Dan and I drove to Flagstaff, AZ to pick up our two 4 pound "packages" of bees. It's had to believe it was almost one year ago. I purchased them from Craig Noorlander (Papa Bear's Honey from Englewood, NM). Craig harvested the packages of Italian bees from a farm in northern California.
I transported the bees in the trunk of the car, with the truck slightly open to allow for some air flow to make sure it didn't get hot (I tied it down to make sure it didn't flap on the 4 hour drive back to Tucson).
