To be honest, the gender binary makes even less sense for bees (as well as wasps, ants, hornets, termites, and other hive insects) than it does for humans.
Hive insects have three sexes: queens (analogous to females), drones (analogous to males), and workers (which could be analogous to intersex people, but this doesn’t really translate into human biology).

Well if no queen is there one of the workers will transform into a queen.
