Drone or male honey bees have only one purpose, to mate with the queen, then they die. They do not have stingers so you can pick them up without fear. This colony in Tampa Florida was eventually taken over by Africanized bees and had to be destroyed and the tree hole filled in after more than 25 years of having my pet European bees. :-(

  • Drone Bees are male and mate with a fertile female or Queen. Worker bees are infertile females. Bees have the ability to feed larva royal jelly and the larva can then grow in to Queens, The hive can choose when they need new Queens, usually when the colony becomes very big and they need to divide. I wish the profane comments would disappear.
