Have You Heard of this Ant Colony Member?

We all have heard of the queen of an ant colony, one member you may not have heard of is a drone! While these guys don’t get much hype, they should! While no role in an Edgewater, NJ ant colony is more important than the queen, drones are a close second! Without drones, the colony wouldn’t be able to survive. Let’s break down their role and why they are important!

A drone is a male ant. Ant colonies are predominantly female, and males are usually outnumbered 3 to 1. Which makes the colony one big sisterhood, with a few males mixed about. Besides being male, drones are derived from an unfertilized egg. So, they only have half the chromosomes that a female has.

The sole reason a drone is a member of a colony is to mate with the queen. Since they are fertile, they are needed to keep the colony going. They also have a much shorter lifespan than their female counterparts as well. Once it completes its life task of mating, it dies very quickly after. Usually within a few days. While this may be sad, their “sacrifice” keeps the colony’s numbers thriving!

Drones have some stark visible differences as well. They tend to be smaller than their sisters, with a noticeably smaller head and lower jaw. They do have bigger eyes, however, and a noticeable reproductive organ.

Unlike the workers of the colony, drones don’t do any work besides mating. Similar to the queen, the drone does not get his own food, and instead, a female worker feeds him. Since drones come from unfertilized eggs, worker ants can lay the eggs in a pinch. If something happened to their queen, they could lay the eggs to keep the colony’s genes alive.
