Wasps, bees, ants and many other insects live in large organised groups or colonies. For this reason, they are called social insects. Among the members of a colony, there is a division of labour. The body of the insect is adapted to the functions.
In a honeybee colony, there is the only one queen bee. She is the only fertile female. Drones are male bees. Their main function is to fertilize the queen in the spring.
Worker bees are sterile females.
They perform many tasks; for example, nurse bees care for the larvae.
Nectar foragers transform the nectar into honey.
Pollen foragers collect and carry food to the larvae.
