On inspection of the bee hive A single bee was found to have some serious problem .something was attched to its head . Please help me know the problem and the remedy,
White eyed drones are a common abnormality. The drones are blind and unlikely to mate. This abnormality is caused by inbreeding. A virgin queen mates with one of the drones from the same hive.
Do you have only a single hive? Do you have any other beekeepers within a few miles of you? It is very rare fora virgin queen to mate with one of the drones from the same hive.
Virgin queens with fly a couple miles to find a mate.
That is amazing I had no idea this was possible! If possible, could you join this nature site ad upload a picture of the white eyed bees and your location, it would be a big help to Scientists! I am an Admin on the site and I know everyone would really find this interesting, if you do add it, please post the link here so I can add it to the Honeybee Mission on the site. http://www.projectnoah.org/
