Why don't drones, whilst in a hive with a virgin queen, attempt to chivvy her out of the hive so she flies and they can mate with her?
I appreciate they will only mate " on the wing" but why don't they encourage her out such that they can get to her before she reaches a DCA? Given that they will mate with a closely-related virgin queen?

I've heard that worker bees will make some attempt to bundle her out when they deem her ready to mate, but that drones don't do this.
