> I'd like to hear your reasoning on that Pete.  Our European bees evolved from Africans.

This viewpoint was challenged by Kotthoff & al:

Kotthoff, U., Wappler, T., & Engel, M. S. (2013). Greater past disparity and diversity hints at ancient migrations of European honey bee lineages into Africa and Asia. Journal of Biogeography, 40(10), 1832-1838.

Their work was the basis for my article:

Borst, P. (2015). The Origin and Distribution of Honey Bees. American Bee Journal. May Issue
