Here's why:
* The Queen Bee is the most important female in the hive. She is the only one who lays eggs and is responsible for the colony's reproduction.
* The Drones are the male bees. Their sole purpose is to mate with the queen.
* The Worker Bees are the females who do all the work - they build the hive, gather food, care for the young, and protect the queen.
The worker bees essentially "keep" the queen and the drones in the hive, ensuring their safety and ensuring the colony functions.
