Maybe I'm just too anxious but it has been almost 3 weeks.

Remember, you are dealing with the state.
It used to take several months to get results, last year I believe that the results came in about 4-6 weks.
best of luck,
Kurt

So Kurt,
What you are saying is I may get my Bees in April, I'll kill them all before I know if I am qualified to even be a beekeeper?? Chuckle, Chuckle.

Thats a good one.
I do not know of anyone ever killing their bees the first month. More experienced beekeepers wait a few months or even years to kill them.
