Hi Phil.
Good to get another man from Ulster on the forum. Can't let these Scots have it all their own way!
It's hard to say as I have only seen data from Carnica and AMM.what races of bee would be involved if you found positive DS and a CI under 2.0 ?
I tend to use wing morphometry to exclude queens which have mated with non AMM drones, ie where the scattergram has a lot of points outside the AMM box. I would guess a lot of these drones are just from local mongrel stock or possibly Buckfast type bees.
