Bouncer Bees just like Humans?


I came across this article about bees the other day in Discover Magazine and had to comment on it.  I quote: “The queen lays eggs; male drones mate with the queen; and female workers guard the nest, collect food, and construct honeycomb” (J. Garthwaite, June 2012, p.13)  So basically, all the males are in it to get one female pregnant, while all the other females have to work hard to get everything done and still get no reward for it!  Mother nature could not have been a woman!
