formicary, hive, nest
Worker bees have several essential functions within the hive. They are responsible for foraging for nectar and pollen, which they bring back to the hive to feed the colony. Additionally, they help with hive maintenance, including building and repairing the honeycomb. Worker bees also care for the queen and brood, and they regulate the hive's temperature and cleanliness.
