I’m a little disapointed at the lack of communication when you knew that you were running late due to the cold spring as I had nucs made up in anticipation for the arrival of the queens. However the queens did arrive in great condition within 24 hours as promised. I would have no hesitation in recommending Apis Donau for mated queens but they need to be more careful of their customer service.
