Happy National Honey Bee Day! Known for their exceptional intelligence and problem-solving abilities, these incredible invertebrates are celebrated for their pollination skills and ability to produce honey. Did you know all worker bees are female? These are the busy bees you see pollinating flowers and maintaining the hive. Honey bees have a highly evolved, complex social structure, living in well-organized colonies with three main roles: Queen, Workers, and Drones. Male bees, or drones, are distinguished by their larger bodies and eyes, and their primary role is to mate with virgin queens as they depart to establish new colonies.
