A stingerless drone hasn't forgotten how to seduce,
his large compound eyes see through the queen's charade

The western honey bee or European honey bee is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bee worldwide. The genus name "Apis" is Latin for "bee", and "mellifera" is the Latin for "honey-bearing", referring to the species' production of honey.
