ordered the traps over a month ago - no traps - no reply - still waiting - website should warn customers the traps don't ship for over a month while the larvae eat away at your hive

His letter was postmarked Oct 5,received on 8th shipped on 18th

This dumb ass can't count days and should realize larvae stage is to late.

Traps are for adult beetles BEFORE larva stage.

on a scale from 1 to 10 those are wicked gross. Bees should be made 500 billion times more aggressive than they currently are and beekeepers should be provided with powered battle armor that permits them to fend off all swarm based attacks. This way all larvae would be destroyed and also the price of honey would increase, and also the 'deadliest catch' show would go off of the air because beekeeping would become the deadliest (and thus manliest) occupation.

@johnpluta A 10 day delay in shipping would be, in my mind, unacceptable. I would never purchase a product I had to wait that long for. I always use 2 day shipping online; and ground shipping (3-5 days) is as far as I'd consider acceptable (this is including pre-shipping time). You shouldn't attempt to sell items you can't immediately ship. More than that, you shouldn't insult someone who just paid you for a product you provide, especially publicly with such foul language.
