Answer Details
The function of the drone in a colony of bees is to mate with the queen. Drones are male bees that are reared solely for the purpose of reproduction. Their main task is to mate with the queen bee and ensure the survival of the colony. After mating, the drones die. Therefore, they do not engage in other activities such as cleaning cells, protecting the colony or laying eggs, which are the responsibilities of female bees.
