My guess would be bees that swarmed from a hive colony where someone kept the bees and the swarm took off to the wild.

I am not sure but, the researchers are going to have to share that one. I have noticed that when a pecial group of bees are located you hear a little bit abd then everyone involve shuts up. The top secret level of the governement has nothing on beekeeping scientist who think they might have something worthwhile. You think we were dealing with  pharmacutical research companies making drugs.
