Hi Barry

I think I would call your type of feral bee kind of original feral bee, not
influenced by men. But any type of bee that has choosens it's own type of
habitat and survives there for a length of time is as far a I can find out
"feral", in contrast to bees kept by men. But One thing I would like to
know too, is to what how much an original feral bee is different from a
domesticated type.
