Oh look, it's Dietrich

I've been babbling at cathijosephine a lot about bees lately. Hoping to build a hive and order bees for the spring. Finally read your bee posts.

Laying workers only lay drones, because they're not mated, and without fertilization you get drones.

There's good photos of what drone cells look like online, like this one: http://www.bees-on-the-net.com/queen-drone-and-worker-cells.html
The drone cells are domed, the worker cells are flat like honey cells.

Seems like it might be good to find a bee club to get in touch with lots of people who know bee stuff. I don't know what this group is like: http://www.meetup.com/Boston-Beekeepers-Club/

There seems to be a fairly established club in my area, which I'm looking forward to going to Saturday.

There's also web forums:

Looking forward to hearing how things go with your hive.
