>In all the discussions about high-quality queens lately, I have seen no references made to the effects of high-quality drones.   Each are 1/2 of the equation.

I would have a question for drone breeders. To diversify my breeding, I use three dimensions of bee cells for workers and fourth for drones. I have encountered a problem where the colony does not want to worry about males, after running with the bee cells drones on a large scale falls out of the bee hive and die under the entrance. The colony is active, wears, builds, the mother puts, ... it is a manifestation of about 20 hives out of 60 differently in different places where I have colonies.

Apparently I came to the conclusion that two frames of the drones of the foundations of cells are a lot, in the future I will insert only one piece of frame.

Thank you for any suggestions.
