Howdy, I'm new to bee keeping. I installed my package of bee's in my TBH 04/08/14.
The bee's are doing great. lot's of pollen being brought in. and 8 bars drawn out with comb.
I inspected the hive a week ago. lot's of capped brood and pollen. I also saw the queen.
The last few day's I've watched drone bee's shown the door. They can't even fly away,
they hit the ground and just crawl around.
I'm thinking that the girls don't need the boy's around because all is good and they don't need a new queen.
Thoughts ?
