> Pete, I know that you and I disagree on this. 

I am not sure we do, exactly. In any case, I am a liberal. A true liberal hasn't got his mind made up about anything.

> But I feel that the evidence is very strong that there are feral populations of bees in the U.S. 

Agreed, but following Zayed & Harpur I think that the high rate of recombination prevents excessive inbreeding, and produces adequate variation, in the commercial population as well.
