> days decades before ... 1000-mile migration moves

When was that? People have been moving bees over 1000 miles since the 1800s using trains. An article in the JULY 1924 ABJ titled COMBINING CALIFORNIA AND UTAH BEE PASTURAGE:

> The first man to find out that the ideal is a combination of two states was Nephi Miller, of Provo, Utah, and Colton, California. He has nine winter locations, many of them in low, swampy land full of willow bloom, by the Santa Ana river. When he ﬁrst bought his twenty acres, in 1911, such land was worth only $10 an acre and people laughed at him for getting so far away from the orange groves. The bee treking system includes a January emigration west and a May or June one back to Utah.
