>The honey bee is highly adaptable so the whole notion of locally adapted
is a mirage.

I can't fathom why you would make such a statement, Pete, in light of the
fact that Apis mellifera clearly adapted into a large number of
morphologically and behaviorally different races, each adapted to its local
environment, long prior to mankind entering into breeding.

I'm in complete agreement with Jon in this discussion.  Every bit of hard
evidence that I've seen supports the premise of honey bees, if left to
their own means, evolving into locally-adapted races.
