Drones depend on worker bees to feed them. Drones die off or are ejected from the hive by the worker bees in late autumn, dying from exposure and the inability to protect or feed themselves, and do not reappear in the bee hive until late spring. The worker bees evict them as the drones would deplete the hive's resources too quickly if they were ...

Unlike the worker bees, drones do not sting.
Census data shows that the number of bee colony operations rose much faster than honey production—and is up 160% since 2007. Pollination—not honey—is why the U.S. needs more bees
