The bees are being killed by two mites, one external and one internal. One is Russian. Bees are big business, the almond crop in California depends on them. There are semi trucks hauling bees. We haven't treated our planet all that well. Too many chemicals but with out them we would be food poor. Answer? I don't have one.

I have indeed delivered bees. Sometimes it's just a queen in a small package, other times it has been a box of bees about the size of a shoebox. It's always entertaining when a few of them find a way to sneak out and zoom around the office. We had Vector Control warn us about the advance of the Killer Bees this last summer. They are heading this way from the Imperial Valley, moving down the Santa Ana River channel. I'll mail you and Ish some when they get here. We also get boxes of crickets. Earthworms. Baby chicks (peep peep peep). Pheasants. I once delivered a person. Well, his ashes, anyway. So you're in Northern Virginia, are you? I used to live there, as apparently about half this thread once did, too. Hard for me to now believe that trees turn in the fall, that there's snow. Or rain, even.
