INFO Bees, wasps, ants and termites are social insects. Every social insect performs a special duty. Most nests have only one queen who lays all the eggs. Male bees or drones fertilize the queen and die.
Worker bees are non-breeding females.
They nurse young, feed the queen, guard the hive and collect food. Bees always share food. Food is regurgitated then eaten by a sequence of bees until reaching the queen. Workers collect nectar and pollen from many different flowers. Bees dance to tell others where to find food.
