I have one hive that I have not seen any drones coming in or going out. The other hive has plenty of drones. Could this be a sign of a weak queen? It quit raining and the wind has kept me from inspecting. Any information or has anyone seen this before?
Thanks
Dennis
I could be just the location of one hive draws the more drones for one reason of another. Drone traffic is by no means a indicator or much. At most it might mean a queen replacement or some type in the vacinity. That hive or one near it. Drone traffic isn't even a good indicator of a failing queen (drone layer) or laying workers this time of year in the northern hemisphere. But it is always worth a check to allay your worries.
