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.
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.
Females are the Queen and the worker bees.Males are the drones.
The queen bee is female, so are all worker bees. The male bees are called drones.
