"I'm looking for research relevant to localization of lines of bees. I'm hoping to find papers indicating that either genetics have a big part in whether or not a particular line/subspecies/breed of honey bee thrives in a certain climate. Any suggested reading material would be very much appreciated."
 
There was a controlled experiment done over, I think, 16 countries a few years ago, comparing local bees with some brought in from outside the area and in every case local bees did best.  I'm copying this to Norman Carreck of Sussex University as I'm sure he will be happy to provide chapter and verse and steer you towards relevant documents.
