Looks like my Apis Mixta Melifera - or common and garden blackish mongrels to you and me!

Narrow grey stripes are indicative of Carniolan. But most bees bred in the UK in uncontrolled situations are a real hotch-potch.

The one in the middle is playing Hotch Potch.

On a more serious note, a DNA analysis could give you an idea of the bees origins I think but as already said they would be well mixed. Local mongrel is probably the best term if they were bred locally and have ideally have re-queen themselves a few times. If they are from a purchased nuc they could be anything from anywhere and the queen at least could have come from a different country.
