Male honey bees, also known as drones, are larger than female honey bees, which are worker bees and queens. Drones do not have stingers and their main role is to mate with the queen. Female worker bees are smaller and have stingers for defense. Queens are the largest bees in the colony and are responsible for laying eggs.

What are the differences between a male honey bee and a female honey bee?
Male honey bees, known as drones, are larger than female honey bees, which are worker bees. Drones do not have stingers and their main role is to mate with the queen bee. Female worker bees are smaller, have stingers, and perform tasks such as collecting nectar, making honey, and caring for the hive.
Are honey bees made out of honey?

Do male bees sting, or is it only the female bees that have stingers?

How do bumble bees make honey?
Bumblebees eat nectar and pollen made by flowers. The sugary nectar provides the bees with energy while the pollen provides them with protein, according to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust. They make honey by chewing the pollen and mixing it with their saliva, according to Animal Diversity Web (ADW).

Is the Africanized honey bee damaging the environment it now lives in?
An Africanized honey bee is just a bee with attitude. Apart from that there are no significant physical differences between Africanized bees and Western honey bees -- in fact the only way to be sure which type of bee you have is DNA analysis. For this reason, Africanized bees are no more damaging to the environment than any other bees. In fact, all bees are essential to maintain the environment as we know it.
Are killer bees larger than honey bees?
Killer bees, or Africanized honey bees, are generally similar in size to regular honey bees, with only slight differences in body dimensions. They are not significantly larger; in fact, their size can vary slightly based on environmental factors and genetic diversity. Both types of bees are about the same length, typically ranging from 1/2 to 5/8 inch. The main differences lie in their behavior and aggression rather than size.

Do both female and male bees make honey?
No, only the female worker bees make honey. The female queen bee and the male drone bees do not make or gather food themselves.

The drones are only produced in the spring/summer and are killed off each year once their job is done.
