> Even if temps were higher, what difference would it make? Few to no drones this time of year.

Few is absolutely correct, but few is not none--so I'm saying there is a chance! Albeit not a very good one, since drones stop flying at ~60F and queens at ~70F.

I was more perturbed by the fact that conditions were lousy, they had plenty of room, I had treated for mites, and still they swarmed. Sometimes you just can't win.

Stupid bees.
