This month’s talk by Stephen Fleming is entitled “The Magic and Mystery of Drone Congregation Areas”.
Fascinated by the idea of drone congregation areas (DCAs), Stephen Fleming set out to try to find one. By accidentally ignoring the books, he was very lucky to find one within an hour. Since then, suitably warm sunny afternoons from May to July have tempted him to be lured him from his desk in search of more – from Watership Down to the Isles of Scilly – and to try to understand how drones and queens find them and why they are located where they are.
Stephen is co-editor of BeeCraft and occasionally writes about DCAs and the bemused looks he gets when he is out and about with his rod, lure, and UAV (radio-controlled commercial drone) looking for magical places.
