While shaking In HoneyBees for Extreme Cold Spring Weather, I found 2 Drones🐝

Install honeybee packages & prepare them for extreme cold weather.
Bonus Footage:
While inspecting my latest Honeybee colony packages, I found 2 male bees (Drones) hitching a ride with the girls.

I've never seen male drone bees come with new packages, albeit, they are around when the packages are being made so it only stands to reason that sometimes you could find them in with or straggling along on the outside.

Male (drone) bees are a sign of a healthy hive but when they're no longer needed or when times get tough, the worker and nurse bees refuse to feed them and they die.

In this video the nurse bees are feeding the drones through the screen covering.
