 This is interesting. So do weak queens attract drones? If so, why?
 Perhaps so that when the queen is eventually superseded, there will be
enough drones? Or maybe weak queens produce less or more of some pheromonal
substance and the drones are able to sense this, and find these
colonies... but why? For possible supersedure again?
