<< I have this problem as well.  I can't start breeding until about the
 middle of June because there are no drones till then. I wonder if anyone
 has any experience of keeping a colony headed by an drone laying queen
 alive over the winter?
  >>
Yes you can winter over a virgin queen to produce Drones in early spring.
The book that best describes it is;
 
Practical Queen Production in the North
by Carl A. Jurica, Ph.D.
      325 Wells Street

You can get the book directly from him or try Beekeeping Education Service at
