Bumble Bee on Sea Oxeye
"3Putt in Coastal SC" wrote in message ... She? it? he? There are three 'castes' in bumble bees as in honey bees and social wasps. The Queen, who once the nest is established won't forage any more, the workers - sterile females - who do the foraging and the male drones, who hang about on the main drag waiting for a nice bit of skirt. Just like human lads. A foraging bee at any time of year will be a female, whether the mother of the colony or one of her daughters. A bee is never 'it' - any more than a human is.

species of being an "it". "Mary Fisher" wrote in message t... "3Putt in Coastal SC" wrote in message ... She? it? he? There are three 'castes' in bumble bees as in honey bees and social wasps.
