Best Answer

All bees except the drones are females.

Female: queen, worker, nurse, etc.

Male: drone.

After performing their "male function" for the queen the drones are forcibly removed from the hive by the other bees and starve to death. From this point on there are only females in the hive.

Except for the queen the other female bees are infertile.
