There are many species of bees in Australia and the majority do not live in colonies (hives) but are solitary.
Professional and recreational Beekeepers focus on the European honey bee. These live in a hive and within the colony there are three castes of bee; a single queen bee, tens of thousands of female worker bees; and up to a thousand male drone bees.
