Peter:
Wild honey bees instinctively build the size that is
correct for that species in that locale.

Reply:
Once distinction to be made here fwiw and kept in mind, is
whether the wild honeybees were recent abscondies from
regular hives also, and how close to interacting in the way
of breeding with man kept colonies too, for spheres of
breeding influence mean a lot.
