McKay's Bees by Thomas McMahon

Description: The year is 1855. Gordon McKay, a man of means, has decided to lead an expedition from Massachusetts to Kansas, where he plans to make a fortune keeping bees. McKay's imagination has been fired by a book about bees: their incedible fecundity and productivity. Presumably one hive can be expanded into several each year, and each hive can produce 100 pounds of honey. His bees will create an empire for McKay.
