Re your interpretation of Oldroyd 1997, could you please cite the
reference.  In a paper by him in 1998 (Population Genetics of Commercial
and Feral Honey Bees in Western Australia), he concludes ...

Actually, the quotes were lifted out of the 1998 paper you cited. He refers to his own previous work of 1997, which would be

1997a. Population demography of Australian feral bees (Apis mellifera). Oecologia (Berl.) 111: 381-387.

Excerpt

> Honey-bees are widespread as feral animals in Australia. The population is very large but varied considerably in size (50 - 150 colonies/km2) during the study period (1992 - 1995). The expected colony lifespan for an established colony is 6.6 years, that for a founder colony (new swarm), 2.7 years. The population is expected to be stable if each colony produces 0.75 swarms per year
