@paintpro785 I got the bees from Drapers Apiary in georgia. There are tons of places to get packaged bees. try a google search

The box was not face to face, but they did not release the queen. After two days I released her myself. All is well now.

Did they release the queen alright??? I seen that you used the rubber band to hold the cage on the foundation but the cage needs to face along the frames and not face to face with the foundation! I hope it went ok cause they wasnt able to give the queen any water or anything if the foundation is up against the cage!
