Mating Station
A mating station is a controlled mating location stocked with selected drone colonies to ensure specific genetics in queen mating. These stations are often established in isolated areas such as islands or mountain valleys to prevent uncontrolled mating. Mating stations are essential for structured bee breeding programs.
