[QUOTE="Br. Adamson, post: 13376, member: 411"] Interesting stuff Alastair. The temperature i have in my head is 23 degrees for mating flights, not sure where i got that from. Do you think you got lucky with a really warm day or that the queen and hopefully the drones were out on a nice sunny day that was not quite that warm? Incidentally you might find this masters thesis interesting, it is the only NZ research into DCA's that i am aware of, i have found it just now: [URL="https://mro-ns.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/14123"]An investigation of honey bee Drone Congregation Area formation in rural and semi-rural locations in New Zealand : a thesis presented in part fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand[/URL] [/QUOTE]
Verification
