Behavior of a drone

16. Drone bees swarm
That is how I fly !!
Congregation
area
Swarming is essential to the bees
survival. If the hive becomes
overcrowded, resources will be scarce
and the colony's health will begin to
decline. So every now and then, a
bunch of bees will fly out and find a
new place to live.

have grown up and are more
calculating.
These socially
aggressive behaviors include
gossiping, social exclusion,
social isolation, social

someone, and stealing friends
