No they aren't, the males just live in the hive and their only purpose is to fuck
You're thinking of honey bees. And no, honey bees do not "live in the hive and fuck." They fuck once mid air then die.
Fucking living the dream
This sent me down a rabbit hole. It's estimated that less than one in one thousand actually mate though. So... Maybe.
Death by snu snu.
Drones also maintain the temperature of the nest/hive.
Additionally, carpenter bee drones defend the hive (although they don't actually have any defences, and therefore do this by repeatedly bumping into the adversary); and Asian honey bee drones help to kill murder hornets, by enveloping them (alongside other bees) and essentially cooking them to death.
AFAIK bees are females, the drones are the males.
Lol no they aren't. Honey bees have male drones. Carpenter bees have male bees that guard their nest from other bees.
I got the stinger :p
No they're not, that wouldn't even make sense. If all individuals of a species are of a single sex, there wouldn't be male and female, they are hermaphrodites. Bees reproduce sexually.
Bees are all female, so...
