    It depends!  Some Bees hear within a couple of days, and for some it takes months!  Pengy personallly looks through all the applications, so there is no set formula or timeline.

    I think I recently read on Pengy's formspring that she typically reviews applications every couple of weeks, so sometimes it might take a couple weeks for you to hear something. Good luck!

    Good luck to you though. :D

    Pengy tries to get to them every 3 weeks or so. Here's her formspring answer:

    "I do most application evaluations on the weekends, every few weeks. So if someone emails me and asks me the status of their application and it's only been two weeks since they applied, there is a chance I might not have even looked at it. You can email me if you like, (email is always fun) but you haven't heard back, it's because I was probably out trying to have a life that one weekend, and will resume being a shut-in blog hermit the subsequent weekend."

    I know I'm trying my best to bother the hermit this weekend, so it might be a little bit longer before you hear back ;)

    Hehe, it's been a week and I've been wondering this as well. Guess I've got at least a couple of weeks to go! Good luck LaborOfLove & Miss Cake!

    When I was rejected, it was about 3-4 weeks, and when I was accepted it was almost exactly 2.

    I applied to hostess and heard back a couple of weeks later that she had received my application.  She said it might take a long time to hear back officially because she reviews so many of your posts...total time might be a month now?

    aww, I'm sorry Miss Cake.  I applied and was rejected, too.  It's OK!  Keep blogging and try again in a month, if it is really something you want!

    @Miss Cake: seems like a lot of bees were rejected the first time around. hope you do reapply! as we say here in japan "ganbatte!" (try your best!). i think i might've applied too soon so if (when, really) i do get rejected i'll probably wait until a little closer to the date to reapply.

    @krissycake: we're actually just planning from japan. been living in 新宿 for almost 3 years, we're moving to america in october and we'll be having the ceremony in my parent's backyard in l.a.! but we are taking our e-pics next month in time for さくら season :D

    I've been waiting almost 5 weeks. I think I my app may have gotten lost in the shuffle.  As per the support board I'm waiting til the 5 week mark to email Penguin directly. I can't tell if its a good or bad sign....

    It was right about 2-3 weeks before I got rejected. = ) I kinda knew before the e-mail I would be, though.

    Now I'm hoping to be a hostess. That would fit me a lot better since I'm here all day. I've just been more quiet lately.

    Sorry you got bad news, Miss. Cake!
