The ancient Greeks knew that there was a class of bees, the drones, that are larger than the workers, although they disapproved of the drones' laziness because they could see that the drones just hang around the hive until the mating flight -- they're the males.
De gamle grækere vidste, at der var en klasse af bier, dronerne, som er større end arbejderne, selvom de misbilligede dronernes dovenskab fordi de kunne se, at dronerne bare hængte ud omkring bikuben indtil parringsflyvningen -- de er hannerne.
