Final answer:

The term 'drone' refers to male bees, not females. Female bees are either queen bees or worker bees. 'Lez-bees' is not a term used in entomology.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, female drone bees are not called 'Lez-bees'. The term 'drone' itself refers to the male bees in a colony, not females. Female bees are grouped into two categories - the queen bee and worker bees. The queen bee is the one female that reproduces in the hive, while worker bees are females that have undeveloped reproductive organs, and thus do not mate. They do the majority of the tasks in a beehive, including foraging for food, cleaning the hive, taking care of the young, and protecting the hive.
