Yes
Then I'm very happy with the situation of your bees recognising your face and not mine.

As a former biology student, I have to say this topic is fascinating. The parts about the rogue queens and the colonial collapse when they all become queens... these could make for some very interesting fanfics.
I mentioned that phenomenon as an interesting prospect for Oddworld's species. However, the workers of eusocial insects are all biologically female, though not in function. Oddworld's workers appear to be male in form if not function, and while a suddenly societal shift towards all drones would likely be disastrous, it would probably be less interesting than them all ballooning up and laying eggs. Fom a body-shock perspective at least, I'm sure the alternate angle could be worked well.
