Honey bees are not native to North America and we brought over from Europe by I believe the Puritans. Does anyone have any idea how they could have survived being brought over on a ship and in what manner where they contained on the ship?

How do your think bees survive winter?
The idea of them making honey is so that they can pull trough period of restricted access to flowers. I presume that this would allow them to make it though an ocean crossing in a ship.
While on the ship, the workers may have tried to fly off looking for flowers and may or may not have made it back to the ship. If they did not make it back, well too bad, that mean more honey for the other ones. But the queen stays in the hive all along, and once reestablished on land, the workers would have an opportunity for finding flowers again.

They were kept in their beehives, but one would think that without a source of nectar on a four month journey, they would die.
