Sort of. A colony of honey bees (Apis Mellifera) is comprised of 1 queen, several hundred drones (male bees) and up to 80,000 worker bees (infertile females). As their name implies, they do all the work in the colony such as looking after the larvae, keeping the hive clean and collecting nectar and pollen to feed themselves and the other bees in the colony.

No. Different species. Carpenter Bees make a hole for their nest in soft wood. Bumble Bees either nest on the ground, or in a tunnel nest in the ground.
