Seeking information related to the
first queen bees shipped by mail.
Was K. P. Kidder involved in this achievement?
Kidder describes a method of shipping bees
in 'Secrets of bee-keeping' 1868
Did Kidder reside in Vermont or Massachusetts?
I located reference to a beekeeper in
Massachusetts shipping queens in
1867, -seeking the persons name.
Also seeking a date for first package
bees sent by mail.
Best Wishes
