It's the same with bees....... all the worker bees are female. The drones just stay in the hive, mating with the queen.
Here's an interesting little factoid about worker bees.......
"Bees are neat freaks and because it is the worker bees' job to clean the hive, they will remove themselves from the hive before they die so the other bees can get on with their job."
Aw, bless! They even die tidily!
