Dave:
 
Last year a fellow beekeeper was interested in Bumblebees and
the possibility of renting them for pollination. He did try one
hive/colony (whatever you call a bumblebee nest), but found
that after it was at the rental site for a bit, the bumbles abandoned
ship.
 
Anyway, in the course of events he asked me to check with
BEE-l about Bumble Books. I found out that IBRA in England
carried a new book on the subject, but I cannot remember
the name or any other details.
 
IBRA has a web site, which you can locate at some web sites,
or simply use a search engine to find them. Once there, send
them an e-mail.
 
My friend said it was a good book. I would call him but he is in bed
by this hour.
