RE: Drone cells
 
I have definitly noticed the inclination of an ESTABLISHED hive to draw
drone comb wherever there is empty space.  Apparently, a hive "likes" lots
of males available if there are adequate stores, workers, etc.  However, I'll
bet if you dumped a swarm in a body of empty frames, you'd get mostly worker
cells.
