Observed my girls ejecting the drones yesterday and today. Kind of felt sorry for the little guys.

I still have lots of drone brood in my hives which is very unusual.

Hmmmm, I have seen the ladies dragging drones out, kicking and screaming by the looks of it :laugh: I felt sorry for a minute then realized they are welfare bees anyhow.
