Hi Ron/Eefje van Mierlo, About drones in October. I can't tell you for sure but Steve Taber,mentioned in one of his articles(or perhaps in his book "Breeding Super Bees") that he checked the hives for drones in winter and he find drones in winter time.Hope my memory is good. In the same time happened to me to find drones in late October here in Romania.
