Queens, Workers, Drones
The colony of honeybees consists of three classes: a) the queen who is a 
prolific layer of eggs; b) the worker who is the bulwark of the colony; c)the
sedentary drone whose only function is to mate with young queen. The queen lays
eggs that hatch into thousands of female workers;some queen live as long as
five years and lay up to one million eggs. The worker builds and maintains the
nest, collects and stores the honey, and is the antithesis of the lazy drone,
the male honeybee, who does not work and has no sting. When the drone is no
longer needed, the workers, in effect, liquidate him by letting him starve to 
death. It is a cruel, cruel world.
