There is a strain of 'Cordovan Italians', a bright yellow bee called
Aurea by a firm of bee breeders in Ohio who I supply equipment to.

If their photos are correct to colour these have to be the
brightest bees I have ever seen. As like all beeders, who ship all
over North America it is highly likely they came from the USA and
others are not to blame, they're home grown.
