Here's the Answer:
In some cases, change can be very rapid.
In an experiment by the University of California at
Davis, on Punctuated equilibrium vs. gradualism.  The
results of the experiment suggest that there are no
constraints, and no difference between gradual and
rapid evolution. They were able to show that
evolutionary changes can emerge in as little as a
decade.

IMO, This may support what many small cell beekeepers
(that have managed to maintain bees on small cell long
term) are seeing, that fundamental changes seem to
occur once bees are established and maintained on
small cell long term.
