I am curious about the extent of the risk of dead bees in a colony. Randy has shown (and others have anecdotally confirmed) that squishing bees is bad for the colony well beyond the loss of the bees squished.
More specifically, I am curious whether that effect also applies to the frozen drone brood put back in a colony when the beekeeper uses drone culling to control varroa. Do dead drones function as "bee juice" in this context?
