Worker bee removing a Drone

It is tough beeing a Drone (Male bee).  As the season ends there will no longer be any use for Drones in the hive.  They will no longer need them for fertilization and the Workers (Female bees) are trying to store as much food as possible.  Drones do not help, they consume.  So the Workers will start kicking them out, letting them starve, or possibly dismembering them.  As shown here: A Worker bee just wrestled a Drone bee out of the hive.  It can be a tough world to be a bee but they will sacrafice all for the remaining colony to survive.  Enjoy!
