Hi
I have just put eke on brood box and laid fondant ontop of frames as suggested by many helpful beeks on here.(bees low on stores, not taking fondant from ontop of crown board etc etc.....)
when i removed crown board there were 6 drones and 1 worker on it.
is it likely that i have a drone laying queen and these guys are left over from the end of last season ???
the 2 colonies i lost recently also had lots of drones on the frames
