Peter I really liked your post, very inspiring. I am afraid the scutellata is not the answer as far as the capensis is around with its laying workers.<http://upetd.up.ac.za/thesis/available/etd-10192006-175328/unrestricted/00front.pdf> At the same time what puzzles me is how come Australia have Nosema ceranae with out having varroa or Asian bees, particularly considering that NosemaC migrated recently (last 20 years) to EHB.
