Answer 2

A drone (male bee) has only one purpose in life - to mate with a virgin queen, after which he dies. If he doesn't 'get lucky', he returns to the colony and then does no work at all until the breeding season is over when he will be ejected from the colony by the worker bees because he is no longer needed. As he has never had to look after himself, he soon dies.

Answer 3

The drone is a male bee. The queen and worker bees are all female.

A drone's only purpose is to mate with a new queen and it does no work in the hive, nor does it forage for nectar or pollen.

Answer 4

This is a contradiction in terms. The queen bee is the only fertile female bee in the colony and lays all the eggs. A drone is a male bee and its only purpose in life is to mate with a virgin queen - after which it dies.

Answer 5

Drones are the males, and their only purpose in life is to mate with new queens.
