I definitely will, as it was my first time coming out of winter with my new hives, and I thought it really odd.  I have since split those hives several times.  I always wanted to post these pictures on one of the bee forums, and never got around to it.  This thread is the first time I have seen someone else discuss this strange issue.

I just created a photobucket account with the pictures.  In one photo, you see a drone eviction in progress, and the dead drones below the entrance.  I also picked up a few drones of various ages and placed them on the cover to take close up photos.

I'll post my observations this May.
