Yes because i like them. They look funny with big eyes and making funky sound. And i think workers like to have them around. They are giving nice wibe, so workers are more inspired to make their thing.. Or maybe im just wierd?
But i dont know how to give them space? One option would be to have separate frames full of drone comb. Maybe move them to the side nearest to wall so they dont take space from brood nest. Or would it be better to cut 10-20% from each foundation and let them build drone comb all around?
Anyone else here who likes to keep drones? Have you found that they eat all of your honey? Or have you found out that they have some positive effect to colony?
