Hi Chris

I made the error of using the word 'never', but such large areas of
drone cells in freely built comb are unobserved by me, apart from those
drawn on drone foundation.
The largest areas of freely built drone cells that I have seen were in
fairly shallow top bar comb from cut comb cogs, no obvious reason for
them being drone rather than worker, they were single examples that came
from the middle region of the box, but I cannot remember exactly what
number slot they were in.
