If you see a honey bee flying from flower to flower, it will be a worker (infertile female). It will NOT be a male and it will NOT be a queen.
A male bee is called a drone and an infertile female bee is called a worker. There will also be one fertile female bee in a colony - the queen.
If an egg that is laid is fertilized, it will become a female worker bee. If it was not fertilized, it will become a drone (male).
The male workers are called 'drones', females are simply called 'female worker bees'.
A worker bee i gues
She is called the Queen Bee.
A male bee is called a drone. A female bee is either a queen or a worker (infertile female).
The femal bee is called the drones or the worker queen!
Drone is the masculine name of a male bee. Female bees are the worker bees or the queen bee.
There are two different types of female honey bee. The majority of bees in a colony are workers - infertile females. There is only one fertile female in the colony - the queen.
Female bees can produce baby bees the males cannot. The female bees are diploid and the male bees are haploid. The antennae of a male bee has thirteen segments, while the antennae of a female has twelve. This is one way in which male and female bees are different. The worker (unfertilized female) honey bee does all the work, both in and out of the hive, whereas the male (drone) bee does no work at all. The bad news is that at the end of the breeding season, the drone is ejected from the hive and dies because he doesn't know how to forage for food.
