I have been keeping bees for 30 years and give 100's of presentations each
year.  One question about honeybees in particular plagues me.  Your research,
informed opinion, speculation, and/or wild guesses would be of help.

How do the virgin queens and drones from a neighborhood know where the mating
zone(s) are since they come from different locations?
