In a colony of 50,000 bees there is only one Queen, but she is far from the only female. She is accompanied by 300 male bees (also called "drones.") The rest of the hive is made up exclusively of female worker bees. The female bees forage for food, build honey comb, keep the nest clean and defend it from predators while the drone or male bees sole responsibility is to mate with honey bees from different hives. | ![]() |
Queen bees are the ultimate mother, as their role in the survival of the colony is indisputable. We hope this incites appreciation for the queen bee in your life and that you share this article to celebrate all that makes them invaluable this Mother's Day!
