Bees, drones and queen bees
Bees are social insects. There are different types of bees:
drones, workers and queen bees. They live together in a
colony. The queen is the biggest bee in the hive. She is the
only bee that lay eggs. Sometimes a queen can lay 3000
eggs in a single day. Worker bees are female but do not
lay eggs. A colony can have 50,000 to 60,000 workers.
Workers give food to the queen and the babies. Some
workers build the honeycomb and store the food. Older workers collect the
food from the flowers and make the honey. Drones are male bees. They have
very big eyes. Drones don’t collect food from flowers or work in the hive. But
life isn’t all good! When there isn’t enough food or when it is cold the workers
push them out of the beehive and they die.
