Pete, there is  evidence that refutes that hypothesis.  You oversimplified
the Aussie model.  In Australia, the managed population of yellow
Italian-type bees is quite different than the robust feral population of
dark mellifera-type bees.  Selective breeding in Australia effectively
maintains two distinct populations on the continent.

Likewise, in the U.S., Sheppard/Delaney's or Salansky's work on mitotyping
demonstrate the same.
