No. Worker bees are all female, and perform all the tasks in the hive except two. The Queen bee lays all the eggs that will produce the new bees. The Drone is male. His only function is to fertilise a Queen. The process of impregnation kills him. All other Drones are disposed of each autumn.
Drones account for approximately 1% of the bees in a honey bee colony.

∙ 14y agoThe average honey bee hive in summer has one queen, around 60,000 workers and around 200 drones. In winter there is still one queen, probably something like 15,000 workers and no drones.
In colonies of other types of bees, there will always be more workers than drones.

∙ 14y agoA drone is a male bee and does no work in the colony. It's only purpose in life is to mate with a virgin queen - after which it dies. A worker bee is an infertile female and as its name suggests, does all the work within the colony from raising young to keeping the hive clean and collecting nectar and pollen. Some might say that it's much the same in a human household!!

∙ 9y agoThe drones are male bees and do no work at all. Their only purpose is to mate with a virgin queen and when they have done that they die. At the end of the breeding season, any remaining drones will be ejected from the colony by the other bees and because they are unable to look after themselves, they soon die.
