> Pete when did moving the bees across the continent and back, congregating in large shared pollination events like the almond orchards, become more common?
That's a tough question, which would take a bit of digging to generate a good answer. However, in 1919 M. G. DADANT wrote:
> Some apiarists catch the early flows in California and ship by rail to Nevada or Utah in time for the alfalfa there, to return to California for the fall. But the long overland haul by rail takes much experience and had best not be attempted unless the beekeeper is in a position to stand possible loss.
