In the context of the subject I found this article. Mr.Fletcher describes
that several times African bees were send to Brasil
THE AFRICAN BEE, APIS MELLIFERA ADANSONII, IN AFRICA
David J. C Fletcher, Bee Research Laboratory, Plant Protection Research
Institute, Private Bag X134,
Pretoria 0001, South Africa
Annu. Rev. Entomol. 1978.23:151-171
Importations to other countries were not uncommon. Par example:
- Woyke, J. 1973. Experiences with Apis mellifera adansonii in Brazil and in
Poland. Apiacta 8:115-16
and
- Darchen, R. 1976. L’elevage d’Apis mellifica adansonii dans le Sud-Oest
de la France. La Gazette Apic. 827:222-24,232
I recall that during the beginning of the nineties in Germany new ideas were
launched by German beescientists to pick up research again with scutellata.
The plans were strongly opposed by the German beekeepers.

P.S. I can send the article to those who are really interested, privately.
