Hi, can someone point me in the general direction of breeding drones, please. Any links or docs where I can read up on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. :D
you could try buying them a few drinks and telling them they're pretty.......
i'm not sure i understand your question. are you interested in getting the bees to produce more queens for a mating yard?
Ultimately, yes.

This may help. Queen Mother and Drone Mother colonies are what your looking for correct?
A colony with a good quality queen has good quality drones. :-D no need to breed drones, just make sure you have a quality queen and you will have all the quality drones you want.
Ah, OK, thank you for that.
