The flight activities of drone bees seem to have been much neglected in literature which has rightly placed more emphasis upon the workers and queens. It has, however, been known that drones favor the warmer hours of the day. In an effort to determine at what time during the day drones actually fly as well as how many flights they make per day and the duration of their flights, the authors have observed various hives over a period of days of varying weather conditions. Two other problems, the age at which drones take their first flight and how long drones live, were also studied.
