What should be the golden standard for the amount of drones used in artificial insemination? (if we want diverse and good performing queen, not inbreeding)

You still look great Bob considering all of the work that you do to keep all of us small and large bee keepers informed as well as running a family business. I know knowledge is power. I appreciate every minute you spend here with all of us here on YouTube. Thank you my brother! I am in zone 9b NE Florida. Still learning at 70 years young.
