Queen bee

Drones dont live very long - their entire reason for living is to mate with the queen and produce workers (Which by the way are all female).

delphic bee is a rare inspirational bee

I see, thank you!

Yeah, Drones don't actually do anything useful for the hive after they are done mating so the hive kicks them out.

Why are all the girl bees mean to the guy bees

lol they dont get kicked out - they die, they are only useful for sex.

I ***** your mom and now I would just like to lounge around and eat your food. Wait, why are you kicking me out.

Iirc drone bees lose some major internal organs after intercourse when their stinger comes off, which leads to their death.

Drone bees indeed perish.

Worker Bees will also perish, but if you have a healthy hive (Queen + fair number of drone bees) then the queen SHOULD be making new worker bees faster than your existing ones are perishing.

Once there are two queens nothing gets done as you have confused the bee population and they don't know which queen to follow. If you leave them there long enough on queen will just fly away taking half the hive with her.

Also... Fun Fact. The more you check your bee skeps, the more irritated they get and the less production they do.

And how we should check drones numbers to replace them if we dont check?

He didn't say don't check them. Just dont check them a few times a day. Instead do it like once every few days.
