"But since those mitotypes are not found....."

Yes, but just because something is living exclusively in the  wild that
does not make it a wild type.  We have tens of millions of feral pigeons in
the US  as well as the rest of the world, many of which have lived in the
wild for 100 generations or more and most are no place close to wild type.
In the same vein yellow dent field corn will not even survive in the wild
yet was picked for wild type for corn.

" Humans introduce honey bees to an island...."

Perhaps never.  Say for example all the starting bees introduced were
homozygous cordovan.  On the other hand it is perfectly possible for you to
have hives in your apiary that are wild type.  I am not so sure wild type
even has any real meaning for honey bees.  We know such a tiny amount about
the genetic make up of honey bees I do not know if anyone has ever defined
wild type other than with respect to cordovan.  Until someone defines it as
a particular DNA sequence or as the presence of specific named alleles
there is no wild type.
