Hello Molokai!

Thats a good link!
Thanks for the great info!

I also found supporting reference material concerning honeybees in Hawaii 
in a book I just received:

‘World History of Beekeeping and Honey Hunting’ by Eva Crane

I also have ‘Bees in America’ by Tammy Horn, but info provided is mostly 
duplicate info being referenced from the book ‘World History of Beekeeping 
and Honey Hunting’

I’m going back about 100 million years or so in creating my honeybee 
timeline.  I ordered the book  ‘Archaeology of Beekeeping’ also by Eva 
Crane.  If it is anywhere near as good as ‘World History of Beekeeping and 
Honey Hunting’ it will be a great resource for me. 

Still searching for reference material concerning the arrival of honeybee 
in the states mentioned at the start of this thread.  I’ve taken to 
writing the historical societies of each state to see what they may have 
that can assist me.  Thanks again!
