He is larger than the Worker and smaller than the Queen. Except for mating, the Drone is an expendable member of the colony. Drones do not collect nectar or pollen nor do they make beeswax. In fact they are driven from the colony as winter approaches where they perish from cold and starvation. Most all flowers produce a sweet liquid to attract insects, primarily Honey bees, so that pollination can take place and assure the survival of the plant species.
Honey bees make honey from nectar found inside the flower blossom.
Field Worker Honey Bees collect the nectar and carry it back to the hive in pouches within their bodies. The Field Worker Honey Bee gives the nectar to young Worker Honey bees back at the hive, who then place the nectar in a beeswax comb made up of six-sided cells. The excess water is then evaporated from the nectar. After a period of time the nectar is transformed into Pure Honey. Some Workers collect nectar, some collect pollen and some do both.
