Drone flight is not significant, but your new hive is making a queen either to replace the missing queen or swarm again.
drone question
i have a hive from a cut out and the queen was with it. I had a lot of drawn comb and she was laying. I did an inspection the other day and saw a lot of drones and no signs of a laying queen. These where genital bees and now they are not happy! Today i was walking by them and noticed a lot of drones flying. I did see what i thought was swarm cells on the bottom of a frame, but being a new bk im not sure of what i am looking at sometimes. Does the drone flight mean something that special?

Sounds potentially painful.....These where genital bees and now they are not happy!
