No, they just aren't so fussy which home they live in!

Have you been feeding those bees Phayze? Too much in the way of stores for the number of bees? Drones would call it eating at the best restaurant...

havent been feeding them but they had a virgin waiting to mate for about 3+ weeks a lot of stores built up whilst they were waiting,

Best restaurant on the block then. Mature drones can feed themselves in a hive just fine.
