Life rules and characteristics of bee drones

Normal bees mostly cultivate drones in late spring and early summer. The number of drones cultivated by bee colony is related to the species, queen age, colony size, season and the number of drones in bee colony. Most bees breed only a few hundred drones in each colony, but some bees have thousands of drones in the bee season.

Italian bees usually take seven days to fly after leaving the house, and the most suitable mating period is between the fifth and twentieth days, which is the so-called drone adolescence. China bees are very similar to Italian bees. This problem must be considered in the artificial cultivation of queen bees. In order to mate normally.

Uavs usually fly out of the nest when the temperature is high, the relative humidity is low, the wind speed is low or there is no wind, and they usually fly out of the nest on a sunny afternoon 14- 16. Chinese bee is a little late 1-2 hours. Its loud hum is easy to recognize. The time and weather conditions of drone travel are consistent with those of the Queen.

In the long-term honey source environment, the life of the drone can reach 3-4 months. But usually after the honey flow period, or the new king has laid eggs, the worker bees will expel the drones to the side spleen or the bottom of the box, or even drag them outside the nest to starve to death. Eliminating useless drones in the bee colony is conducive to the continuation of the life of the bee colony. Sometimes, worker bees do not expel drones in autumn and winter, but leave them in their nests for the winter. This situation usually occurs when the queen bee is lost in the group, or although there is a queen bee, it does not mate with the drone, or the queen bee is disabled and aging. Practice of breeding the king-drones can be saved without the king if necessary. When the drone flies back to the direction, it loses its nest. In the bee season, drones will not be stopped by guard bees from entering his group, so they are called playboys. This characteristic helps to avoid inbreeding.
