I did that...Bubbles sent it to me a little while ago, again. It said it'd take a few minutes; that was an hour ago

It takes a while, DuckLady still has a family!
I see it is changed now though.

I had to enlarge! but very pretty flock!

I wish I could find some cheap!!! 

oh geez

'Hello whites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  beautiful day!!!     
air cells are too large? or you mean movement is?  confused, how many are jiggly yet?  vs not jiggly

Air cells are almost day 7 size, so I am upping the humidity a lot. Movement is 1\8 in or less, they just look..... well, jiggly! About 4-5 of them, I think. One is so dark I can't see anything.
@Sally Sunshine

Yeah...I'm going nowhere fast

I said around 117 could be more could be less.

Why wouldn't they?
Do they need to feed every day?
Only things I know about bees are they produce honey, they like to buzz around your face when you're trying to work, they hurt when they sting, and pipe smoke doesn't seem to calm them.

I've had such bad luck, I worry about them. There is a candy plug in the cage that they can feed on. I put a drop of water on each cage.
They do need to eat and drink. There are 5 live attendants in each cage with them. The queens don't do anything but lay eggs. They don't feed or groom themselves. The attendants do that for them. As long as the attendants live, the queens will.
Honey bees make honey. They're all from Europe.
What bothers me about the sting more is the swelling I get in the next couple days.
Normally bees afield or in swarms won't sting. They will if they get caught in your clothing. They save their sting for hive protection.

I've tried catching them with a fly swatter and all they seem to do is go splat. Am I doing it wrong?

If they didn't live, then likely your technique was wrong.

Carpenter bees love to make their perfect 1/4" holes in my barn, and they're always bugging me when I'm there, but I've yet to be stung by one.

Native bees (not honey bees), usually don't even have stingers. There are 4,000 species of native bees.
Only colony bees (honey and bumble) aggressively protect their hive and may sting.
Most native bees are solitary and even if they have stingers won't sting when away from the nest.
There are forty-five species of bumble bees in the U.S., only about four have a feisty nature. In contrast to social bees, almost all of our native bees live on their own (“solitary-nesting”) and thus have no hive to defend.
When foraging away from the nest, no bee is looking for conflict and will only sting as a last resort–perhaps as a result of being swatted or squashed, or accidentally being caught in someone’s clothes. The ones that are a problem are the yellow jackets attracted to soda cans or garbage than you will from native bees.

. Good luck with these, and I am sorry about the others. Did you try the used coffee grounds? It totally got rid of the ants bothering my friend's tree.

I spread coffee grounds and cinnamon. These ants are huge - nearly as big as a bee. They walk across the grounds and cinnamon like it isn't there. I witnessed them dragging bee larvae out of the hive.

Now you're talking about something I'm an expert in.

From which end?
