I saw in colony. Yellow head drones....
Interesting. A think that eye color is one of the more common mutations. Do the drones seem able to see, or are they blind as well?
This was a question on the Journeyman certification exam I just took. Because drones are haploid, recessive traits are expressed - in a diploid, the recessive trait is covered by a dominant trait. This mutation is called chartreuse.
