Bob asked:

> Can you tell a Italian from a Carniolan by head shape?

Why bother?  Carniolans are (generally) so dark, and
Italians (generally) so light, you can tell one from
the other at 5 yards when the bee is in flight.

But, like you, I assumed that morphology would be
very similar, if not identical between the two.

             of horrible depressing stuff also
             happened around the globe, but
             we'll ignore that for now.)
