* The queen bee is the only reproductive female in the colony. She lays all of the eggs that will hatch into new bees.
* The worker bees are all female, but they are not fertile. They do all of the work of the colony, including foraging for food, building the hive, and caring for the young bees.
* The drones are male bees. Their only job is to mate with the queen.
Bees live in hives, which are made of wax. The hives are divided into cells, which are where the bees store food and raise their young.
They build their hives in a variety of places, including trees, rocks, and human-made structures.
