  2. Drone (bee) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_(bee)

    When a drone mates with a queen of the same hive, the resultant queen will have a spotty brood pattern (numerous empty cells on a brood frame) due to the removal of diploid drone larvae by nurse bees (i.e., a fertilized egg with two identical sex genes will develop into a drone instead of a worker). The worker bees remove the inbred brood and ...

  3. Mating yard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_yard

    The hives in a mating yard are primarily mating nucs or drone producing hives. Mating nucs are smaller than normal nucs, often containing non self-sustaining numbers of bees. The beekeeper will replenish the workers in a mating nuc by shaking additional bees into mating nucs when their population is running low.

  4. Honey bee life cycle - Wikipedia

    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).

  5. 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 ...

  6. Western honey bee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_honey_bee

    In temperate regions, drones are generally expelled from the hive before winter, dying of cold and starvation since they cannot forage, produce honey or care for themselves. Given their larger size (1.5 times that of worker bees), inside the hive it is believed that drones may play a significant role in thermoregulation. Drones are typically ...

  8. Laying worker bee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laying_worker_bee

    A laying worker bee is a worker bee that lays unfertilized eggs, usually in the absence of a queen bee. Only drones develop from the eggs of laying worker bees (with some exceptions, see thelytoky). A beehive cannot survive with only a laying worker bee. [1]

  9. Varroa destructor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varroa_destructor

    Nurse bees are preferred hosts in order to be moved to new brood cells. Because the nurse bee spends more time around the drone brood (i.e., male bees) rather than the worker brood, many more drones are infected with the mites. [4] These phoretic females can also be transmitted to other hives through bee contact or hive equipment transfer.
