I'm not sure whether the question is '...come to England' or '...come from England', but this should answer both:
Bees evolved from primitive wasps somewhere between 50 and 100 million years ago, probably in what is now North Africa, although the world was very different then. Their emergence corresponded with that of the first flowers, so bees and flowers have evolved together which may account for their close relationship.
The bees slowly spread, southwards to South Africa, eastwards to India (which at that point was still attached to the African land mass) and on into Asia, and northwards into Europe. Until about 10,000 years ago the British Isles were still joined by land to what is now France, and the bees spread into them.
That is as far as they went until Europeans started exploring. Early settlers took bees with them to the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, and these bee colonies swarmed and spread there.
