Definitely a bad day indeed! We just had a cold snap for the last couple of days (down to 36F) so I might have a drone boneyard as well.

I haven't had "drone evictions" as of yet here in Franklin, LA, but I am expecting them any day now. It hasn't gotten below about 46 degrees yet.
Bees still working hard to prepare for winter. BEEMAN

Saturday's front had things chilly and the speaker box bees kicked out their drones and were hunkered down come Sunday. The last few days its been business as usual. Another fronts supposed to come through tomorrow.

I saw many drones flying and going back in the hives as of yesterday - hundreds of miles to your north. Time to kick the hogs out!
