Was your queen a part of this hive before they shipped, or is she new to these bees?

That's so cool! You can start making your own honey mead next.

Both actually.

The queen was shipped with the bees, but she's not "their" queen. Thus the need for the acclimation period.

For some reason I thought that the queen needed to be related to her bees and started out with bees from her mother's hive.
