American Bee Journal Volume 166 No. 5 May 2026 Cover features a close up of a drone bee emerging. Calouts: Do you really need a new queen - 491, AHB in the USA - 523, Where do honey bees mater?-527

Emergent: The first drones of the season are a sure sign of spring – and a subtle warning that swarm season is just around the bend.
Our May cover comes from the photographer Taylor Zadnik of Sharpshot (https://sharpshotphotos.mypixieset.com/) in Kitchener, Ontario.
