Worker bees are female bees that play a crucial role in the hive. They are responsible for various tasks, including foraging for nectar and pollen, caring for the queen and larvae, and maintaining the hive's cleanliness. Worker bees are typically sterile and do not reproduce, focusing instead on supporting the colony's survival. These bees communicate with each other through dances, which help them share information about food sources. Worker bees have specialized body structures, such as pollen baskets on their hind legs, to efficiently collect and transport pollen back to the hive. Their efforts are vital for the pollination of many plants, contributing to the ecosystem and agriculture.
