So what's the Buzz on this deal?
I hear you get a good Buzz if you bake them in brownies and eat them.
Perfect gift for your Honey for Valentine's Day.
I'd order the Bees, but they give me Hives.
Can these Bee used for Spelling Bees?

I also notice it specifically states Italian Queen, how can I verify that?
Swarms: Hives sometimes "swarm" if they are becoming too large, or if there are multiple queens. Typically a queen will kill off any new queen cells, unless she is becoming too weak. In the event that a new queen lives, they will either try to kill one another and take control of the hive, or one will leave, and part of the hive will follow. A swarm is typically pretty weak and inactive, and the drones will land wherever the queen does, often resulting in a basketball sized mass of bees on a tree limb. These can be "captured" by a beekeeper to start a new hive.
What you might be referring to is the recent concern over CCD, or colony collapse disorder. In the last few years both kept and wild (more rare for honeybees) colonies have experienced unexplainable die-offs and collapses. It's a pretty big concern for commercial beekeepers and the farms/orchards they service. Some people have speculated it has to do with the stress on a hive from the transportation involved in commercial beekeeping operations.
Oh yeah, and you will have to pick this up from your local post office, and you should warn them a large buzzing package is going to arrive to play it safe.

You don't want to do this to the Queen though. Those things are so dramatic.
