House Bee
A few weeks ago I had several hives that were working well but with no obvious pollen being collected, I assumed that the queens was not laying but were also not absent, there were plenty of drones still present in these hives but none seen in other hives in the same apiary, these were external observations only.
This week with a good flow from the ivy all these hives have been taking in plenty of pollen and within two days all drones have now been chucked out.
This seemingly being triggered by the queens laying again.
