>>>    While they may be open mated,  all good breeders wish to saturate the DCA to the maximum possible. <><><>   QUESTIONS:  1.  Do all the queens from one mating yard go to one DCA only?   2.  How does one determine which DCA a mating yard uses?  3.  For the queens in a mating yard, do they continue using only the one DCA over long periods of time?  4.  How is the distance of the DCA from the mating yard computed (time the queen leaves until the time she returns)?  5.  I'm sure there are more questions out there pertaining to what DCAs virgin queens from a certain area utilize; i.e. weather.
