"From the following it should be quite plain that very important behavioral differences between strains of honey bees may not necessarily have corresponding genetic markers."

Note that the study cited only talks about mitochondrial genetics.  As the number of mitochondrial genes are only about 0.1% of the total genes in a honey bee I see no reason at all to expect any correlation what so ever between mitochondrial genetics and any thing that we can see or measure in honey bees.  I do not think the cited study in any way supports the quoted statement.
