"Bee scientists always speak of the bee as she. It is because all the important bees are of that sex.
In the hive there is one married bee, called the queen; she has fifty thousand children; of these, about one hundred are sons; the rest are daughters. Some of the daughters are young maids, some are old maids, and all are virgins and remain so."
Mark Twain 1902
