I test the wing patterns of most of my bees and often see a relationship 
between cubital index and gentleness but haven't detected any similar 
correlation between discoidal shift and gentleness.  Last summer Bangor 
University did a survey of about 30 randomly selected colonies in my 
part of North Wales and tested them for gentleness 3 times during the 
season and took wing samples each time to look for correlations.  The 
exercise was a small scale undergraduate project so there was not enough 
time to analyse more samples but the results might, never the less, show 
a statistically significant effect.
