What are color codes i see dark blue, light blue and white, what does each mean?
It doesn't really mean much
Empty = 0 sightings during that month
White = 1 sighting during that month
Light Blue = 2 sightings that month
Dark Blue = >3 sightings that month
You can see the number of sightings inside the colored box, on the left is the species and on top is the month
It doesn't really correlate with any specific number of reports. It is just a simple visual indicator for the relative amount of reports that month.

I found some virgin alates that had dropped their wings in Pearsonville, CA. 1 out of every 2 nests had workers pulling virgin alates out of the nest.

I sold a few off. All the ones I kept (3) weren’t fertile but one queen I sold turned out to be fertile. I didn’t witness the flight but yes there seemed to be one. I found about 4 males walking around.
