Not really, but I have established colonies three times due to moving, two of the were Midnight and the third Italians.

Any differences between the types was not apparent and probably due to local conditions, floweres, trees, etc. > Am I worrying over nothing? I won't touch that one with a barge pole !!!!!!! Doug.
