There are no bees that have no purpose at all, but the drone bee is probably the closest. The drone bee has no father - literally. It is hatched from an unfertilized egg, meaning it only has the chromosomes from the mother (Queen) bee.
.
Drone bees have no stingers, and they do not gather food. They have antennae that they use to detect (smell) certain chemicals and enlarged eyes. These extra sensory capabilities enable the drone bee to detect an incoming queen bee, and then impregnate the queen bee. The drone bee dies as part of the impregnation process.
.
Drone bees live for about 8 weeks. In harsh conditions (cold, etc.), the drone bees are evicted from the hive, whereupon they die due to exposure or to predation.
