   Drones do not exhibit typical worker bee behaviors such as nectar and pollen gathering, nursing, or hive construction. While drones are unable to sting, if picked up, they may swing their tails in an attempt to frighten the disturber. [5] In some species, drones buzz around intruders in an attempt to disorient them if the nest is disturbed.

3. Drone congregation area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_congregation_area

   Pheromones also play a role in coalescing drones to the exact location of the queen. The International Bee Research Association's standard procedure for locating drone congregation areas involves using a queen or a (pheromone-marked) dummy queen to attract drones from the diffuse cluster of a typical drone congregation area into a visible clump ...

4. Queen bee - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_bee

   The surviving virgin queen will fly out on a sunny, warm day to a drone congregation area where she will mate with 12–15 drones. If the weather holds, she may return to the drone congregation area for several days until she is fully mated. Mating occurs in flight. The young queen stores up to 6 million sperm from multiple drones in her ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_bee_life_cycle

   Unlike a bumble bee colony or a paper wasp colony, the life of a honey bee colony is perennial. The three types of honey bees in a hive are: queens (egg-producers), workers (non-reproducing females), and drones (males whose main duty is to find and mate with a queen). Unlike the worker bees, drones do not sting.

9. Mating yard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_yard

   A mating yard is a term for an apiary which consists primarily of queen mating nucs and hives which raise drones. [1] [2] A queen bee must mate in order to lay fertilized eggs, which develop into workers and other queens, which are both female. Queens can lay eggs parthenogenetically, but these will always develop into drones (males).
