Replying to @BelleSanders_ @MascaraAmanita
None of these terms are independent of their practical meaning to hunters, beekeepers, cat breeders, etc I mean you betray yourself again - only a fertile cat can be a "tom" or a "queen", as opposed to a "neuter" or "spay" (the catchall term for a neuter/spay is even "desex")

The vast majority of bees that exist do not, as you say, produce large or small gametes, they're workers, which we only classify as "female" due to the circular argument that they're more genetically similar to the queen than the drones
