Abstract
The flight activities of drone honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) have received little attention, although tens of thousands of queens are sold each year and each queen must be mated to one or more flying drones. This paper reports tests on the flight habits of marked drones and also on the amount of food eaten by drones, which were conducted at Baton Rouge, La., from March to October in 1952, 1953, and 1954.Keywords
