What would happen to a honeybee colony if there were no workers bees?

Flowers and other plants would no longer be pollinated causing most plants to die off, lowering the oxygen levels on the earth killing several types of animals which leads to lower carbon dioxide killing even more plants and lowering the oxygen levels even lower until the earth reaches climax instability killing us all.... just kidding (about the killing us all part anyway).

What is the female of drone?
The drone bees are the males in the colony. All the females, except one, are workers. The exception is, of course, the queen. Drone is often used to refer to the male of some insect societies, bees and ants being the primary ones. The opposite gender would be the queen. The drones fertilize the queen and she lays eggs for the colony. Female wasps and bees are the queen and the workers. The drones are the only males. The queen and all workers are female.
What would happen to the bee colony if there was no queen?
Not necessarily. If the queen dies suddenly, the workers will build queen cells and transfer recently-laid eggs or very young larvae to them and will feed them on royal jelly. This will make them develop into new queens. They have about six days to do this as the egg hatches three days after it is laid, and all larvae are fed royal jelly for the first three days, but only queens are fed royal jelly after that time. If the queen had run out of sperm before dying and had become what is known as a 'drone layer' (unfertilized eggs develop into males) then this option is not available to the workers. Workers bees are all females but the queen's pheromones suppress their ability to produce eggs. Once the queen has gone these pheromones disappear and workers can start to lay eggs. But the workers have never mated, so can only lay unfertilized eggs which will develop into males. If the colony is unable to raise a replacement queen it is doomed to die out, though a beekeeper who spots the situation can produce a queen from another hive and introduce her to the queenless hive to save it.
Are there hives with no queen bee?
Under normal circumstances, no.The only time a honeybee colony will be without a queen is when a new queen leaves on a mating flight, but she will return to the hive a little while later.If a queen dies and there are no developing queen brood cells, the colony is in severe trouble because there will be no new eggs being laid.Without the pheromones from the queen the workers will realize she has gone, and if there are any newly-laid eggs, or veryyoung larvae (no more than two or three days after hatching) they will be fed with royal jelly, thus creating more queens. This would not work with older larvae.It is possible for worker bees to start laying eggs (after all, they are female), but as they have never been fertilized, any eggs they lay can only develop into drones.Without a queen, the colony is doomed to die out.
Would a pheromone released by a red-ant species affect the behavior of a member of a black-ant colony?
The pheromone of a red ant specie would affect the behavior of a black ant colony. The black ant colony would sense an enemy, and search for the intruder.
How does the honey bee protect herself?
The function of a queen bee is to lay eggs. She does no other work, and no other bees lay eggs. Without her there would be no young bees to replace the workers as they die, and the colony would soon die out.
Who would win the Japanese Hornet or the honybee?
Japanese hornet. The honeybee can only sting once, and even if it did sting the hornet, which is also able to outfly the honeybee, it would die shortly afterward. Thus, the honeybee loses either way.
What would happen to the ant colony living on an acacia tree if that tree was chopped down?
they would die
What would happen if the queen bee did not produce an important pheromone?
The bee colony would become disorientated and stressed and would eventually raise a new queen.
If an ant from the same colony but a different hill enters another ant hill of the same colony what would happen?
If its from the same colony it has the same smell so theyd recognize it, no problem.
What would happen to a bee colony if there were no drones?
Drones are the male bees in a colony. Their only purpose in life is to mate with a virgin queen. If there were no drones, the colony would die out in exactly the same way that most other living creatures would die out if there were no males.
What unit use to measure length of honeybee?
The "millimeter" would be perfect.

What would happen to a bee colony if there was no queen?
If the queen dies, under certain circumstances the bees can raise a new queen. If for any reason they are unable to do that, the colony will die out.
Can a memory chip be connected to the brain of honeybee?
why not??? but it would have to be a pretty small chip!!!
