Worker bees

Worker bees are female bees that perform all the essential tasks within a hive, such as gathering nectar and pollen, feeding larvae, cleaning cells, and protecting the colony. They are the primary members that keep the hive running smoothly. Without reproductive roles, they focus on maintenance and support functions to sustain the hive’s health and growth. Their actions ensure the colony’s survival, enabling the queen and drones to fulfill their reproductive roles. Worker bees are vital for pollination and are the most numerous bee type in a hive.
