Hi  all

> "These drones did not seem inclined or able to fly

What is wrong with the simplest solution?

How about the wing roots of the drones were chewed by the workers in order
that the drones could not fly back to their hive?

Some may consider it early in the season for drones to be chucked out, but I
know my hives will do it early if they have a queen they are happy with
(certain about?)
