The bee is similar to one we see here in Maine. I heard it is common in
Alaska and the Yukon and with a good strong winter storm can blow down
into lower Canada and the northern US. Biggest problem with them is the
winter honey ferments rapidly, but if you position the hive east-west,
the southern side that catches the sun will give a great fermentation
which when extracted is instant meade, which seems appropriate since the
cells are the size of shot glasses. You won't be able to keep the bees
long, because they return north, back to their normal habitat, by
hitching rides on migrating geese and ducks. Enjoy them while you can.
