I was recently up at Davis, California, learning how to instrumentally inseminate queen bees.
The ten person class included beekeepers who had come from the United Kingdom, Colombia, Hawaii, Georgia, Connecticut, Washington, Florida, and possibly other states. The fellow sitting next to me was an Eastern Orthodox monk (complete in his monk robes) named Brother Daniel from a monastery in Florida.

First, did you at least take the Queen out for dinner and a few drinks first? I saw no flowers there. You shouldn't be a cad.
Second, did the drones get a copy of Play Bee and a moist towelette to clean up with? I am under the impression that they expire during the extraction process.
Third and last, have you made arrangements for child support and visitation? Sending a hive to college will take much planning and forethought!
:) It's actually quite interesting.
