  You’re thinking of honey bees. And no, honey bees do not “live in the hive and fuck.” They fuck once mid air then die.

      This sent me down a rabbit hole. It’s estimated that less than one in one thousand actually mate though. So… Maybe.

  Drones also maintain the temperature of the nest/hive.

  Additionally, carpenter bee drones defend the hive (although they don’t actually have any defences, and therefore do this by repeatedly bumping into the adversary); and Asian honey bee drones help to kill murder hornets, by enveloping them (alongside other bees) and essentially cooking them to death.

  AFAIK bees are females, the drones are the males.
