This little paragraph from 1823 struck me as particularly relevant to the present situation

Bees were not originally natives of New England. The
first planters never saw any : but the English having introduced
them to Boston, in 1670, they were carried over the Alleghany
mountains by a violent hurricane :--hence their propagation
on the western part of that continent ; where they have
multiplied beyond all power of calculation.
