The queen's only job is to lay eggs.
The males (drones) do no work.
The workers (all female) perform every task in the hive:
* Hive cleaning * Feeding the larvae * Feeding and cleaning the queen * Feeding the drones * Building new comb * Taking nectar and pollen from the foragers and storing it in comb cells * Fanning the nectar to promote evaporation of water, turning it into honey * Hive ventilation by fanning wings to create an air flow * Temperature control in the hive * Guarding the hive entrance * and last, but not least, foraging for nectar, pollen, propolis and water.
