  • Soldier
  • Drone
  • Worker
  • Male
Explanation

The name for a male bee that comes from an unfertilized egg is a drone. Drones are called so as they are produced from eggs that have not been fertilized by a male bee. They serve the purpose of mating with a queen bee from another colony and do not have stingers like female bees. Drones are solely responsible for reproduction within the colony and do not have other tasks like foraging or hive maintenance, making them distinct from worker bees.
