These bees are organized and every hive has its Queen Bee that decides where the hive will be built and organizes the worker bees. Worker bees do all the work in the hive. A little known fact about worker bees is that they are all female. Drone bees are all male bees whose sole purpose is to fertilize the Queen, after which they immediately die.
- Hive removal – Even though bees have their important place in the environment, a hive in the wrong place can be a danger to you and your family. The only time hives become a problem is when the Queen bee decides to build it where you and your family eat and play outdoors, or inside your walls, in sprinkler boxes, in chimneys, or in your roof.
