>>>>at least for myself I choose docile stock to produce queen cells but controlling drone population is something I cannot totally control. <><><> . Years ago we had a queen breeder in the are who raised Carniolans. To control the drone population he would provide free queens (sources for the drones he wanted) to all the beekeepers for a ten to fifteen mile radius from his mating yards. He was well known for his line of bees.
