Is the hive short on something? In my limited opinion bees will toss out drones when they can't feed them.

I would suspect that your flow has already stopped. I hope that is not true my bees are not too far from you. They have put on a lot of weight already put I hope we have at least 3 more weeks. I will try to see if I have drones. My observation hive in town has a brand new queen and they have cleaned out drone cells and worker cells for her to lay in but is a totally different flow.

Ya I should be aware of your location. Our hives up here don't kick out drones for months yet, but it could be different for you.
