Male bees are known as drones. They are larger than female worker bees and do not have stingers. Their main role is to mate with the queen bee.
Not all male bees are fatherless. Male bees, called drones, are produced from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. So drones do not have a father in the traditional sense, but they do have a genetic contribution from the queen bee.
The male bee is referred to as a Drone. These male bees are kept on standby during the summer for mating with a virgin queen. Because the drone has a barbed sex organ, mating is followed by death of the drone. There are only 300-3000 drones in a hive. The drone does not have a stinger. Because they are of no use in the winter, drones are expelled from the hive in the autumn.
