drones getting the boot

[trimman]

anyone no why my bees would be dragging out drones this early in the year

Is the hive short on something?  In my limited opinion bees will toss out drones when they can't feed them.

I would suspect that your flow has already stopped. I hope that is not true my bees are not too far from you. They have put on a lot of weight already put I hope we have at least 3 more weeks. I will try to see if I have drones. My observation hive in town has a brand new queen and they have cleaned out drone cells and worker cells for her to lay in but is a totally different flow.

Ya I should be aware of your location. Our hives up here don't kick out drones for months yet, but it could be different for you.
