Looking for history!

I'm looking for information about bees in colonial America, and especially about how bees were transported from Europe. If you know anything about this topic or have links to a good site, please let me know.
Thanks!
(This information will be used for a research project, in case you're interested.)

I am interested too )
Happy New Year everybody!
