I suppose it depends on what you mean by "statistically significant." They wrote
> Using a SNP panel designed to differentiate between the African, Eastern European and Western European lineages (Chapman et al. 2015), we found that the commercial and feral honeybee populations of Australia are hybrids of mainly Eastern European and Western European ancestry. While the feral population generally carries more Western European M alleles than the commercial population (38.64 versus 26.81 %), the difference is not statistically significant.
To me, it appears that while there are differences which can be quantified, they are not significant. They identify both populations as mixed ("hybrids"). Perhaps you can shed a different light on it.
