The queen is obvious: her abdomen is about 50 per cent longer than that of the worker bees.
The drones (males) are broader than the workers, not much longer. Their eyes are also much larger and nearly meet at the top of the head.
The rest are workers, and they are all infertile females.

On a females antenna, there are 12 segments, (lines on her antenna) the male bumblebees have 13. Also, the female bumblebee's legs are wider, compared t o the male bumblebee's legs.

What is one difference between male bees and female bees?
The male's eyes are so much larger because they need to find a potential queen in flight. Second, males are slightly larger than a female worker bee. Third, look very closely at the segmented portion of the bee's antennae.
How is gender determined in bees?
Well, the difference is that the worker bees (female) and the queen bee have stingers, as the drones (male) do not. So, if a bee has a stinger, it is a female, and if it doesn't have a stinger, it is a male. Hope I helped! :)

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.
What is the difference between male bees and female bees?
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.
