Queen arriving for split but weather is rubbish

[Nbw]

I have a queen arriving to perform a split today but the weather is shocking again

Am i best to leave the queen in the envelop/cage and do it tomorrow?

Thanks

How rubbish is the weather? Sometimes you just have to find a gap in the weather get on with it. It is a bit drizzly here but I would still get on with it due to it still being humid and warm. Just don't hang about. Torrential rain is a different matter. Also, I would have thought it better to have performed a split previously, allow to raise emergency queen cells that you knock down, and then order a queen to put in a hopelessly queenless split. It may be a little early to introduce the queen if you haven't done this. I would have let the split raise their own queen and replace at a later date if needed

unless it's torrential rain and hurricanes - just do it.

Yeah get it done as others have said.
A few weeks ago I had an afternoon of getting soaked because it was raining so much but a brolly was handy with a fellow beek holding it

She has just arrived. Waiting an hour or so to see if the rain stops to give a better chance

Give a drop of water on the travel cage. Keep it quiet and dark and she will be OK in there for days if necessary, but as others have said the sooner the better

Unlike a good red, a queen in a transport cage does not improve with age.
