Hello, I am seeking a website which might contain information related to the 'world native distribution of honeybees', biology, habitat, and related historical information etc. Also seeking information related to the history of beekeeping in Brazil prior to 1956 back to 1839. Particularly interested in maladies, pests and parasites such as Melaloncha Ronnai and other problems which may have plagued bees in Brazil and caused mortality in bees during the early years. My target investigations are the forces behind the degradation of A. m. mellifera and Apis m. lingustica in Brazil during the years prior to 1956 which facilitated the desire to import Apis m. scutellata. Also,, Is Spivaks manuscript on AHB in the early 90's available online? Permission given to contact me in private email 'off list' if desired. Thanks in advance!
