I just received the following email from Ruhl's. It looks like package pickup times will allow people to attend Bee Day if they want to! Good news for everyone!

Hello from Ruhl Bee Supply! This e-mail is to give you some updates regarding the package bees that you have ordered. Thank you for your patience in waiting for this information.
Arrival Dates: Please read this section VERY carefully.
The arrival dates have been determined. We will be receiving 2 separate deliveries of package bees. To simplify the pick-up schedule, customers have been divided into 2 groups: GROUP 1 & Group 2. It will not be possible to switch groups or change your pick up date. If you are unable to pick up your bees, please make arrangements for someone to pick up for you during the allotted dates/times. Thank you for your understanding.
GROUP 1 (Last names starting with A- Lack)
Pick Up Dates: Saturday April 6th – Sunday April 7th.
*We strongly recommend Group 1 to pick up Saturday or Sunday. They will still be available to pick up Monday April 8th, but the longer they are sitting in packages the higher the attrition rate.
Store Hours: Saturday April 6th 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Sunday April 7th: 9:00 am- 5:00 pm
GROUP 2 (Last names starting with Lafr-Z)
Pick Up Dates: Monday April 8th – Tuesday April 9th.
*We strongly recommend Group 2 to pick up Monday or Tuesday. They will still be available to pick up Wednesday April 9th, but the longer they are sitting in packages the higher the attrition rate.
Store Hours: Monday April 8th 8:30 am – 6:30 pm
Tuesday April 9th: 8:30 am – 6:30 pm
Honeybees are a sensitive livestock and there are a number of conditions that could affect the arrival. We will communicate any last minute updates on our website: www.ruhlbeesupply.com and on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ruhlbeesupply We will also update our voicemail greeting if there are any changes. If you are coming from out of town, we encourage you to check for any changes prior to leaving home.
Parking: Parking at RBS is limited. However, a neighboring business graciously allows us the use of their overflow parking lot (across the street from Ruhl). Please look for signs for “Bee Parking” and please avoid parking in spaces that are not reserved for us. Thank you!
SHIPPING PACKAGE BEES: If you have made arrangements to have the bees shipped to you via UPS Next Day Air, the bees will be shipped Monday, April 8th and you will receive Tuesday April 9th. The shipping charges will be run a few days prior to the shipment. We will use the same credit card you purchased your bees with unless we hear otherwise from you.
*Please be advised that regardless of your location, all package bee orders that were placed through our online store are for in-store pick up only, unless you spoke with a Ruhl representative to make arrangements.
Please don’t hesitate to call us if we can answer any questions. We look forward to seeing everyone in April and here’s to a great beekeeping season!
Sincerely,
Your Ruhl Bee Supply Staff
