For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.A colony consists of a queen, worker and drone. The queen is the only fertilized female and her job is to lay eggs. The remainder of the females are the workers. They collect food, build the honeycomb, and among other things care for the eggs. The drones (males) help to maintain the hive temperature and fertilize the queen - after which the poor things are driven out by the workers to die.
Bumble bees are placid creatures and rarely sting, but if they do it doesn't kill them - unlike the honey bee.
