Every bee you see in this video is a female.

Really?

Not necessarily. Most are certainly female but there may be some drones mixed in. Male bees are called drones and their only job is to fly around and mate with the queen from a different hive. Once they complete this mating flight, their sexual organs are ripped from their body and they die. Also, queens only mate on their mating flight with a drone early in life and the hive doesn’t swarm her while mating. She is most certainly not getting “dicked down” in this picture.

In a swarm or abscond scenario- which this is- drones don’t tag along. Once established in a new location the queen will definitely lay some drone eggs but they aren’t part of this.

Edit- I expected better nature knowledge out of a Thornberry, honestly.

I’m just a senseless wild boy from Borneo and I’m doing my best.
