Hi Joe,
It may be presumptuous of me to qualify myself as a scholar.  Nonetheless,
it won't change the fact that there are about 4000 species of bees native to
N.A.  The vast majority are solitary, mostly ground-nesting species.  No
honeybees are native to the temperate North.  Bumblebees are the only other
honey-producing species (in small quantitites).
