In examining the report at
http://www.beesource.com/pov/rodriguez/fgmo2001report.htm I notice that
there is reference to African bees in Spain as well as to European bees in
the quote below:

"Molecular characterization was based on DNA mitochondrial sequence,
according to which are classified the four evolutionary lineages of honey
bees present in Spain, African A in the southern peninsula and Western
European M in the north. "

I wonder how long each has been in that country and what separates them, if
anything.
