Title: White eyed Drones
Post by: Perry on June 04, 2014, 06:01:28 am

During my recent inspections, I ran acrross a hive that had dozens of these white eyed drones.
I have seen one in one of my own hives, but this was very interesting to see. My first thought was I wonder if they could "see"?

I love google.

Thanks for the link Perry.  Interesting about the recessive genes such as a morph between drone and worker!  ???

being blind you would think those genes would eventually get weeded out of the gene pool..   I have not seen this either. Interesting read. Thanks Perry!
