Drone larvae<br />

After a period of cold or one without harvest at <strong>the</strong><br />

end of April or beginning of May, it is not unusual to<br />

see bees ejecting drones at <strong>the</strong> hive entrance. They<br />

also suck <strong>the</strong> food from those cells which have contained<br />

drone larvae as it is pointless to feed <strong>the</strong>m. The<br />

same thing happens in August when <strong>the</strong> drones are<br />

expelled.<br />
