In a healthy hive there is always a little drone brood mostly at the bottom of frames.
I have wondered.... does the queen know when she laying that the egg is drone and knows "ok, this one's a dud, I'll lay it over here with the other duds" and proceeds to lay the drone egg at the bottom of the frame?
Or do the nurse bees move them after they are placed in a cell?
Or who really cares
