[NHCOLL-L:4862] Shipping to Brazil

[Heather Campbell]

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I will be shipping some pinned bees to Brazil in the near future and I am
a little nervous.  I have heard horror stories about the postal system and
I really do not want my specimens to be lost in transit.  Does anyone have
any tips or tricks to ensure that the package arrives safely and
completely?  Also if there are any tips I can pass on to the person I am
sending them to to make sure that the bees return to me the same way that
would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Heather
