    Thanks Jon. I'm humbled, and feel a bit frustrated because I still can't see any blunt sting ends, and all the eyes are set wide apart. I can see a nice downy newly-hatched bee - but no drones!

    Oh sorry Hors and Jon - I was looking at the wrong photo! I was scrutinising the second picture in post 13. I don't know why I made that blunder. Apologies.

    Phew. Thank goodness for that. I thought one of the two of us had gone completely bonkers and I was worried that it might be me!

    Try this one of mine. If you can't see a drone it is definitely a case of Houston we have a problem.

    Yes, me too: 'Phew!' I was beginning to feel seriously embarrassed - but I'm not in the all-clear yet. Was I right to say there are no drones in that photo I scrutinised (the second photo in post 13)?

    Thanks for posting this new photo of those lovely drones, Keith. My, don't they have big eyes and blunt tails!

    Thanks Jon. Another 'phew'. I'm in the clear now.

    Keith - would you consider allowing me to use your images for our new association which is going to have the rearing of AMM queens as a big part of its activities?

    100% yes and any other photos that you need.
