When I order a nuc of bees I will have them delivered at work. If I had them delivered at home there wouldn't be anyone to take them. That means they'd need to be shut in until I get back home.
I know they've probably been shut in overnight during shipping, but will and extra day shut in harm them in any way, or will it be ok? Can I just put the nuc in a corner of the office and forget about it 'till it's time to go home?
What about if I should order a queen?
I will probably end up getting them locally, so this issue might even not arise in the first place, but still I'd like to set my mind at rest.
