I ordered a package of bees from Leedle Bees in early spring, and when our hive was ready, I drove out to Mulkeytown to pick them up. A three-pound package equals 10,000 bees, give or take a hundred, and the half-hour drive them home with them in the back of my little car was kind of nerve wracking, even after we made sure it was sealed up and brushed off the "tag alongs."
