In the Video "The Monk and the Honeybee" Bro. Adam and his co-workers do indeed accept an  A.m. scutellata queen.  This queen and the A.m. monticola collected on Elgon (Tanzania) and Kilimanjaro did not survive the trip back to Europe.  The "Monticola" bees used in the Buckfast strain are actually from Mount Elgon in Kenya - and are possibly a separate subspecies from the population found on Kilimanjaro and Mount Elgon (Tanzania).
