They are both fed as grubs by the nurse bees tending the brood. There is no concept of first or second.
A male bee is called a drone.

Research has shown that the highest production figures come from a bee that is a cross between the European honey bee (apis mellifera mellifera) and the African honey bee (apis mellifera scutella). However that cross produces what has become known as the 'killer' bee, because they are less docile and more likely to sting. On balance, this disadvantage outweighs any production advantage so beekeepers tend to use the pure European honey bee.
The male of any bee species is called a drone.
Like animals plant flowers also have male and female sex organs. The male sex organ is represented by stamens and female reproductive organ by the pistil. Plants and animals both have male and female reproductive organs. Some orchids put out a scent that resembles the pheromones of the female bee, encouraging pollination of the flowers by (failed) copulation.
If you see a honey bee flying from flower to flower, it will be a worker (infertile female). It will NOT be a male and it will NOT be a queen.
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.
A male honey bee is referred to as a Drone
If the queen fertilizes the egg from her store of sperm, the resulting insect will be female. If she does not fertilize it, it will be male.
A male bee is generally called a drone
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.
Drone is the masculine name of a male bee. Female bees are the worker bees or the queen bee.
Females are the Queen and the worker bees.Males are the drones.
Drone.
The unfertilized eggs of the queen bee hatch into male bees, or drones. Worker bees, or females, and female queen bees hatch from fertilized eggs.
The male workers are called 'drones', females are simply called 'female worker bees'.
A queen bee,a worker bee, and a droneIn a colony of honey bees there will be one queen, several hundred drones (male bees), and up to 80,000 workers (infertile females).
