    My own observations of apiary vicinity mating are completely at odds with the observations of Beo Cooper who claimed it was a strategy used by AMM to mate in a brief interlude of poor weather.
    When I see AVM it is always on a perfect warm day, blue sky between 12.30 and 4.30 PM.
    I don't know why some queens fly to drone congregation areas whereas others mate in the apiary.
    I am not even sure which strategy is most common in my bees but AVM is not unusual at all.

    Most of the book - Breeding Better Bees - is online for anyone interested
