Seeking information related to the first queen bees shipped by mail. Was K. P. Kidder involved in this achievement? Kidder describes a method of shipping bees in 'Secrets of bee-keeping' 1868 Did Kidder reside in Vermont or Massachusetts? I located reference to a beekeeper in Massachusetts shipping queens in 1867, -seeking the persons name. Also seeking a date for first package bees sent by mail.
