Mating between a single drone and the queen lasts less than 5 seconds, and it is often completed within 1–2 seconds. Mating occurs mid-flight, and 10–40 m (33–131 ft) above ground. Since the queen mates with 5–19 drones, and drones die after mating, each drone must make the most of his single shot.
The queen takes one or several nuptial flights to mate with drones from other colonies, which die after mating. After mating, the queen begins laying eggs. A fertile queen is able to lay fertilized or unfertilized eggs. Each unfertilized egg contains a unique combination of 50% of the queen's genes [1] and develops into a drone.
Many drones mate with a given queen in flight; each dies immediately after mating, since the process of insemination requires a lethally convulsive effort. Drone honey bees are haploid (single, unpaired chromosomes) in their genetic structure, and are descended only from their mother (the queen). In temperate regions, drones are generally ...

A mating yard is a term for an apiary which consists primarily of queen mating nucs and hives which raise drones. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A queen bee must mate in order to lay fertilized eggs, which develop into workers and other queens, which are both female.
The drones are the only males in ant social structures, and have little to do with colony activities. [5] Their sole purpose is to transport DNA. [5] The drones leave the colony on a nuptial flight or mating flight, find a virgin queen to reproduce with, and then die shortly after. [5] Colony of bees in a nest
