>  Do you folks up in Vermont, northern NY, or Canada come across many
>feral/wild colonies that survive from year to year?

No, none at all in Vermont. An occasional colony in a wall or roof is about 
it. Even the loggers tell me they haven't seen any in years.


 >>Such ferals should be your best source of genetics for your
climate

Maybe, maybe not. I think your best source would be your best colonies. 
Those that do best under your management and your area.
