Title: Drone Question
Post by: trumpet01 on March 05, 2009, 06:49:42 AM
I've read how far worker bees will travel to do their job. Can you tell me how far Drones will travel to hang out at the Bachelor Pad ? How far will Queens go to breed ? Thanks, Jim <><

I believe I saw a reference some where indicating a queen would fly out 6 or 7 miles if needed.  The drones I don't think go any further than your average worker.
