Hello All,
 
I have read many times about how important the production of drones is for
successful queen rearing.  I have not found a source of information on how
to set them up.  How many mating nucs should I have per drone colony?  I
have also heard that it is a good idea to have drone colonies in the
surroundings of your mating nuc apiary, how many? how far?  There are just
too many questions!!!  How about drone congregation areas?
 
I will appreciate any help.
 
Thanks all!  Greetings from Mexico.
