   There used to be a lot of red - eyed drones in the wild stock around Loris
and North Conway, SC.  It would show up now and then in commercial stock.  I
don't have any bees in the area, so I haven't seen it in quite some time.  It
may be lost, along with most wild bees in these Varroa - infested times.
