More complicated than raising high -quality queen of bees. Drone is a very tender creature, the amount of seed that it stores in itself depends on that you treated the colony with chemical drugs, how many Varroa in the hive, the hit of direct sunlight, the temperature, how well the bees take care of the drones, etc.   On average, one tarnish carries 1 μl of sperm. This is about 7-11 million sperm. (From my practice, I can say that with Single Drone Insemination, the queen can work on a full -fledged nest 1 season. Such insemination is done to work on the VSH project) Trucks also have a ripening period, and its fertility has a rather limited time.  Under adverse conditions, the amount of sperm is greatly reduced, or there are drones in general "empty"The photograph shows the process of collecting a drift seed. After each tenth of a drone, a special diluent is added. Therefore, they lie in rows, so as not to make a mistake with the score.</blockquote>
