Here's why there's no direct opposite:
* Sexes in Bees: The most common terms are drone (male) and queen (female). Workers are typically female, but they don't have a specific gendered name.
* Focus on Roles: Bee terminology often emphasizes their function within the hive, not their gender.
* Not a Human Concept: Gender roles in humans are not directly applicable to bees.
If you need to differentiate between male and female bees, you'd use "drone" for male and "queen" or "worker" for female.
