Drone Bees
Drones are the male bees within the colony. They make up just a small portion of the population of a hive. Drones are larger than worker bees but smaller than the queen.

The queen bee is the heart of the hive, with each colony having just one. She is easily identified by having a larger abdomen than the other bees.
