I had a mysterious occurrence in the hive recently. I opened the hive to see what the bees were up to and I found 3 of these drone pupae on the floor of the hive.
I panicked and ask around, did a google search, all pointed to some deadly disease. But the next day I opened the hive and I found MICE in the hive. They had been walking up and down the floor of the hive eating off the bottoms of the combs (which is where the drones are usually laid).
I have caught 4 mice so far. They don't seem to have done a lot of damage. I must have caught them soon after they had found a way in.
