The Drone Drones are male bees. Hives raise and feed drones as insurance against the loss of a queen. Drones do not forage. Drones die after successfully mating with a virgin queen. Drones are ejected from hives when food is scarce.
Bees are four-winged social insects which collect nectar and pollen and produce wax and honey.
The scientific name for honey bees is Apis Mellifera, meaning carrier of nectar.
