Hi Alvin, I can't believe I've only just heard this fact. It is quite interesting because, of course, this can transfer varroa and disease. Though, it is a good reason to keep colonies healthy and of good temperament as it is the drones who have a big impact on what our new queens turn out to be like. Josh
True but wit drones all they do is mate the queens from any colony this is why they have this free pass, in my three month of bee keeping I've learned alot from u guys videos thank y'all very much.
Hey Alvin, sorry for the late reply. TH-cam doesn't show these comments up for some reason... Yep, drones are amazing. I love drones and think allowing the bees to generate as many as they need to from good colonies (providing there aren't any major issues with disease). We're constantly learning about these incredible insects and I wish I had started sooner. Key thing is you're into it now and loving it. :) Glad you enjoy our videos and are picking up information. I've learnt so much since I've been doing these videos with Mike and Roger. Josh
One was the things I learned early was about the drones and being able to be with any hive , but it's great too hear it again yup confirmed.
