Three. In a honey bee hive, all of the bees are workers (infertile females) except for the queen and a few hundred drones (males).
Yes, honey bees can sting if they are females but no, they cannot if they are males.Specifically, male bees (Apis spp) are called drones and females are either queens or workers. The male only has a barb in its sex organ, which causes it to die after mating. Females have barbed, rear-end stingers which can be used once by a worker bee and more than once by the queen bee.
There is one queen in a honey bee colony, several hundred drones (males) and up to 80000 workers (infertile females).
In a honey bee hive there will be one queen, several hundred drones (males) and all the others (up to 80000) will be workers (infertile females).
A queen bee,a worker bee, and a droneIn a colony of honey bees there will be one queen, several hundred drones (male bees), and up to 80,000 workers (infertile females).
Neither males nor females are genetic copies of honey bees. Both males and females are part of the honey bee species and have their own unique genetic makeup.

The male workers are called 'drones', females are simply called 'female worker bees'.
The drone bees are the males in the colony. All the females, except one, are workers. The exception is, of course, the queen. Drone is often used to refer to the male of some insect societies, bees and ants being the primary ones. The opposite gender would be the queen. The drones fertilize the queen and she lays eggs for the colony. Female wasps and bees are the queen and the workers. The drones are the only males. The queen and all workers are female.
No, the worker bees collect flower nectar and make honey from that. The queen bee is an egg factory.

Male bees (drones) come from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. Fertilized eggs produce females (workers or new queens).
