Well, here in California (SF Bay Area) I've been fascinated by the drones
flying at my hive.  I have *never* had late drones before, but a whole
new batch has shown up within the last month.
 
I know Adrien has talked about channel island bees reproducing/swarming
all through the year, but that's a milder climate.  We're getting some
very cold nights, but the drones are out in abundance!
