Just back from working 280 colonies in southern & central Mn.  Saw
several instances of drones being wrestled out of hives the last two

We're having a dry summer and early fall and consequently a below
average late season nectar flow. It does seem early for this behaviour.

But several of our apple varieties are running about a week or ten days
early too.
