question, what are semi-wild bees?

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

but how would they know that unless someone was there who definitively say yes those were so and so's bees. and what was so rare about them?

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.
