Actually, they’re called Guard Bees. They hang at the hive to protect the Queen, often fighting wasps and other colony invaders to the death. And yes, bees can get drunk — usually from fermented nectar or overripe, fermenting fruit. And when they do, the hive doesn’t take kindly to it. Drunk bees:

• Fly erratically or crash into things.
• Forget directions back to the hive.
• Struggle to do waggle dances properly.

That’s where the guard bees come in. If a forager shows up drunk, smelling like alcohol or acting weird, the guard bees won’t let them in. Some studies even show guards will bite, wrestle, or drag intoxicated bees away from the entrance. No data was available on their ability to spot fake IDs.
