Whoops - in my hasty zeal, I made an inappropriate correction - albert
knight's reference was correct and to earlier work on Tasmanian and
British Isles bees - later Bo Vest Pederson and Francis Ratnieks did dna
studies on British and Scandinavian bees showing *they* were virtually
identical. I have no reference to dna work on Tasmanian bees. I confused
the 2 studies. Sorry.
