Southern Italian bees arrived with foul odor

[HoneyCreekFarm]

Hello,

I just received my package bees from the post office. There is a small layer (.5 in) of dead bees on the bottom but the package has a foul odor. Should I do anything to the package before attempting to install? It smells like a decaying or rotting animal. With previous packages we've ordered, we had dead bees at the bottom, but no odor. I'm going to reach to the supplier, but wanted to check with my local network too. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you
