Is there a good book on the history of bees in North America?

  I know the native Americans called them "White Man's Fly" - but who
actually brought them here?  And How?  Just shut them up in a skep for the
long boat trip?
  I wonder - is there any remnant of those pioneer bees still around today?
  In fact, are the bees in Britain still related to their black bees of old?

  Any suggested reading?   Thanks.
