They live in a hive. The colony is typically divided into the following classes:Draw the other sidequeen droneworker honeycomb cellsQueen The queen bee develops from fertilized eggs. She takes her mating flight only once. Throughout her life, she lays eggs. She does not have pollen baskets. The queen bee has a stinger and can sting multiple times. Drone A drone is a male bee that is the product of an unfertilized egg. Their only job is to mate with queen. They have huge compound eyes. Drones do not have stingers, pollen baskets, or glands for producing wax. Female worker bees develop from fertilized eggs. Workers gather pollen into the pollen baskets on their back legs. They provide food, clean the hive, and cave for the young and the queen. Worker can sting only once. Honeycomb cells A honeycomb is a mass of hex- agonal wax cells built by honey bees. These cells ave used to host the young and to stove the pollen and honey. Honeycomb is the internal structure of the beehive.Honeycomb cells A honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by honey bees.
