In conventional beekeeping these are referred to as races or
sub-species, such as the Italian, Carniolan, etc. From what you have
said, you seem to be saying that "mongrels" are a bad thing, when
compared to their opposite -- an unmixed type.

Do you have such a type, or race, and where did it come from?
