Do they kick out drones as soon as they come out of cell,if it's kicking time ? I seen them kicking them out when it looked like they were just hatched or born,which is it ?
Acts2:37: Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39: For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

i rarely find drone cells in my hives at this time of the year.  the drones that are in the hive are the mature drones.  they are kicked out as winter approaches so that the hive does not wasted stores caring for them.

I have not seen any drone cells in my hives for some time. Same thing in the OH. I think the bees backfill the drone cells first to prevent the queen from laying there too late in the season. The only drones I see being kicked out are the mature ones.

Usually they drag the pupa out before they emerge... and the adults they just drag out.
