Is Winter-hardiness a genetic trait that can get passed along?

>Looking backward the original races/subspecies of bees in Europe would certainly make you think so.  Charlie Marzz once wrote and article(ABJ I think???)of the kind of bee you 'did NOT want' and I suspect your question relates to that more than anything else. However I also suspect if you alter the beekeeper's management style you can somewhat alter the expected outcome.
