Package bees and how to install them / by C.B. Gooderham. : A12-8/8-1936E-PDF

"Bees in combless packages have been imported from the United States into Canada with more or less success for several years, but due to a rapid expansion of beekeeping, especially in Western Canada and to a tendency on the part of many beekeepers to destroy their bees in the fall and replace them with package bees in the spring, and also to improved methods of preparing and shipping package bees, there has been an enormous increase in the importation during the past six or seven years. ... To be successful with package bees one must know the best time of the year to secure them and how to care for them when they arrive"--p. [3].
