    Early one morning in May as we were finishing off our breakfast of bacon, eggs, grits and several cups of coffee, the phone rang.  Through the earpiece I heard an aggitated and nervous voice say "I didn't mind delivering the chicks, and all the eggs, plants and other odd things ya'll have come through the mail but I am not going to put two boxes with thousands of bees in my truck!" I laughed and told her that I would be there when the post office opened.  I arrived at nine o'clock sharp and to the relief of all the post office personel I took delivery of the bees and away I went back to the farm.
