Sumario:It is desired to find out which sector of “Vallecitos” valley is free of drones and the behavior of the temperature in three points equidistant 5 km during fecundation time. It was installed three observation posts during summer, for two consecutive years. The first one was located in Los Zorzales 33º 0017! 32 "S 69º17! 3556" O at 1952 m of height. The west distal point is located on 32º591442 "S and 69º 210627" O at 2652 m above sea level. The stations were equipped with temperature recorder and 5 fecundation nuclei. The experiment begins on October 1st; It was grafted real cells. Three days later they were reviewed in order to check the birth; in negative case, they were re-grafted. Twelve days later fecundation was verified with observation of laying and spermatheca. All nuclei were re-grafted. This is repeated until February 15th. First year results: negatives. Second year results: in the observation of January 15th, positive for one of the 5 queens in Los Zorzales station. This situation did not happen again. Conclusion: any of the three points can be used for fecundation.
