Strange event

A case not even MrB understood as it was the reverse of what normally happens at this time of year which is that the colony reduces it's numbers so as to just have sufficient numbers to survive the winter. This generally means killing off the male drones who do nothing in winter except eat the stored honey, do no cleaning or warming the hive and just have s** on their minds. What I witnessed was two worker bees dragging a living male drone back from trying to leave the hive. Must be(e) the Paul Newman of the bee world. Flickr photos of the action.
