Description
This episode is all about the worker bee of the honeybee world. The worker bee does most of the work in the hive. She makes up 99-100% of the hive. She takes care of the baby bees, gathers nectar, turns nectar into honey, and is the only one who stings. How do we know this and what exactly are the drones and queen doing? All of these questions are answered in this podcast.
