That is the question.
Bees have an interesting social dynamic.
Queen Bee
There is only one queen per hive. Fertilized eggs become female (worker bees) and unfertilized eggs become male (drone bees). When the queen dies or becomes unproductive, the other bees will "make" a new queen by selecting a young larva and feeding it a diet of "royal jelly".

Worker Bee
Worker bees are female bees that are not able to reproduce. Nearly all of the bees in a hive are worker bees. They feed, bath and guard the queen, tend to the nursery, collect food, etc. Worker bees live from 6 weeks to a few months, they actually work themselves to death.

Drone Bee
Drones are male bees.They are kept only for mating. Because the drone has a barbed sex organ, mating is followed by death. Drones still alive in the autumn are expelled from the hive.
The problem with this scenario is that we are not bees - we are human beings and we should act humanely and treat others with mutual respect.
We should not look at what others have to offer us but rather, what do I have to offer this world!
