George, Bob and All,

It seems like the term should be "spent drone" for one
that has mated and will die.  That's as in "his
strength was all spent" or "his load of sperm was
spent".  Once it's spent, it's gone.

And so then prior to mating a drone would be called "VIRGIN DRONE" or

"DRONE"


What then would we refer to the disemboweled drone which may live up to
12 hours on the ground?
