As you probably know, honey bee mating takes place high in the air, in
sites which remain the same from year to year.  The drones congregate in
these sites, and hang around waiting for virgin queens to fly in looking to
mate (sound familiar?).  Well the other day I threw a rock through a Drone
Congregation area near here, and the drones followed after it in the typical
"comet" configuration.  It got me to thinking, so I shot a bullet through
the DCA.  A couple of extremely fast drones caught up with it.  I didn't think
much more about it until today when I was in the area, and came upon a whole
nest of bee-bee guns!
