What is the difference between male bees and female bees?

Female bees can produce baby bees the males cannot. The female bees are diploid and the male bees are haploid. The antennae of a male bee has thirteen segments, while the antennae of a female has twelve. This is one way in which male and female bees are different. The worker (unfertilized female) honey bee does all the work, both in and out of the hive, whereas the male (drone) bee does no work at all. The bad news is that at the end of the breeding season, the drone is ejected from the hive and dies because he doesn't know how to forage for food.
