As our operation continues to expand, we are always looking for ways to save time and become more efficient. This mechanical agitation device was a gift from an incredibly generous friend and fellow queen breeder. It will allow us to sample for varroa mites much more accurately and efficiently leading to healthier and more productive colonies.

09/06/2026

White eyed drones are not something we see often but I caught this one today. Among honey bees in a hive, drone bees are more likely to express mutations from recessive genes than other bees. A drone bee is unique and different from the two types of female bees (workers and queen bees) in that they are developed from an unfertilized egg. As a result, drones only have one set of chromosomes – effectively only one parent. Therefore, with only one set of chromosomes, recessive genes can be expressed more readily without being overridden by a corresponding dominant gene.

These white-eyed drones appear perfectly normal; they move around the hive like other bees, eat honey, relax, and live an apparently normal drone bees’ life but their life is not normal. For them, there will never be any mating; no flights, no flying to drone congregation areas, nor looking for queens. These drones are more or less trapped inside the hive; because, due to their white eyes, they are blind.
