    Here is a strange one for you to contemplate.  I recently finished
winterizing my bees for the coming winter and as I going through
my two hives one last time I noted the absence of the drones.
However, I just moved a friends' two hives back to my place for the
winter, and as I was packaging them up for the winter the day after
the move I found to my surprise a large number of drones in the hive.
The strange thing is that the next day these two hives were busy
evicting the VERY unhappy drones and not allowing them back into the
hives.  Originally these two hives were situated about five or six
miles from my place.
