Usually none, all the working bees are infertile females. Only when the hive is about to swarm a number of drones (male bees) are hatched.
Around 1% of the bees in a colony during the season are male. Only during winter are there no males in the colony.

∙ 6y agoMale bees live as long as the female allows them to live. The males, called drones, serve as just appetites on the wing for about six to eight weeks since they do no work and make no wax. Each new queen will mate with the fastest drones to realize her destiny as an egg factory whereas all drones ultimately will be driven from the hive to preserve food supplies.
