	Each season is different. In 2008 the mating results for the queens - here to be introduced into their mating boxes - were not as good as normal, so some drone layers had to be replaced by new queens from our queen banks. Nevertheless all of the participants had seen what a comb used by a drone laying queen looks like and know how to react when working on their own.
