Yes, I worded this very poorly. The smaller cell size and the lack of Varroa
in the collected feral bees.

In reguards to the AHB swarming often, thereby breaking the brood cycle, I
have heard reports that they will abscound and leave behind infested brood
but a search of the archives came up with no results. I wonder if I am
thinking of Cape Bees?
