Abstract
Mating in honey bees occurs in the drone congeration area, where the queen
and drones gather for reproduction. Sexually mature drones from all colonies
congregate there, and the queen mates with multiple drones, increasing patrilinear
inheritance variation. The variation in genomic content results in specific colonial
behaviour, productivity, and strength. The current chapter discusses mating in honey
bee colonies.
