I like the term "lek" though I have rarely 
seen it used in connection with honey bees ...


After orientation
flights, queens fly to a drone congregation
area (DCA), where they mate on the
wing with many drones. DCAs are rich
in palatable stingless insects
and therefore mating at such leks presents a
significant time-dependent predation risk to
the queen. Mating risks include time and
energy devoted to locating the DCA, copulation,
risk of predation, exposure to disease
and inclement weather.
