"worker bee"의 정의 및 의미

What is a "worker bee"?

A worker bee is a female bee that is part of a social bee colony, such as a honeybee or bumblebee. They are responsible for various tasks within the colony, including foraging for food (nectar and pollen), building and maintaining the nest or hive, caring for the brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae), and defending the colony. Worker bees play a crucial role in the survival and functioning of the bee colony, as they perform the majority of the labor-intensive activities required for the colony's well-being.
