Chuck, depending on the sort of test, the results could be negative for AHB
and the bees still be AHB. The tests done here in Ca. by the State are
mitochondrial, so you could get a queen breeder in, say, Texas who has
raised a pure Italian and through open mating could have mated with several
AHB drones making the hive hot, and her daughters would still test out as
EHB.
