I'll see if i can find a good picture but for european honey bees there are drones, workers and queens. Sounds like your asking about another type though.
This all applies to honey bees.
Queens are obviously the female that does all of the egg laying (hopefully) in a hive.
Drones are the males these are the bigger black ish bees, no stingers, dont make honey, cant feed themselves only exist to mate with the queen when the queen mates, which is only once for about 3 or 4 days right after the queen is born then never again. So for honey production they are useless, in fact befoee winter starts the workers will force all the drones out of the hive to die in the cold because they don't help during winter.
Then there's the workers, which are all females. They have have stingers, defend the hive, dispose of the dead, make the honey and tend to the brood.

It can be yes. Sometimes it wont kill them tho soo they get used to it and then always want pool water instead of clean water.
