All bees you see flying around outside and visiting flowers are females. The males stay inside the hive until it's time for them to mate, and afterwards they die. Males have no stinger, no stripes on their black abdomen, which is also much fatter than a female's, and their eyes are much bigger, touching each other on top of their heads.
A male bee is called a drone and an infertile female bee is called a worker. There will also be one fertile female bee in a colony - the queen.
The male workers are called 'drones', females are simply called 'female worker bees'.
The opposite gender of a female bee is a male bee. Male bees are called drones and are responsible for mating with the queen bee in the hive.

If you see a honey bee flying from flower to flower, it will be a worker (infertile female). It will NOT be a male and it will NOT be a queen.
A male bee is called a drone. A female bee is either a queen or a worker (infertile female).
Male honeybees are called drones. Female honeybees are called workers. Additionally, the Queen Bee is a female.
Well, the difference is that the worker bees (female) and the queen bee have stingers, as the drones (male) do not. So, if a bee has a stinger, it is a female, and if it doesn't have a stinger, it is a male. Hope I helped! :)
The queen bee is female, so are all worker bees. The male bees are called drones.
If the queen fertilizes the egg from her store of sperm, the resulting insect will be female. If she does not fertilize it, it will be male.
A female bee is called a queen or worker. Male bees are drones (their sole responsibility is to mate with the queen).
A male bee is a drone, doesn't have a sting, unlike a female worker. A drone's primary role is to mate with a fertile queen.
