**Au contraire. Several decades ago, the series had a song sequence about "There's more than one way for a family to be" (single parent, grandparents and grandchildren, etc.). This is just lazy writing, similar to another early segment in which a kangaroo sings about the woes of carrying somebody else around in one's pocket all the time -- in a MALE voice. Much more recently, a live-action sequence has two of the series regulars changed into bees and, cringe-makingly, meeting a MALE worker honeybee. However, a different segment does get it right by showing a male ladybug, who points out that not all ladybugs are girls.

Dromites are genderless with the exception of the Grand Queen and Elected Consort, both of whom are responsible for populating the entire city hive. Also, the Queen and her Consort are elected every year, so how exactly the dromites gain sexual characteristics is unknown. However, it does resemble real life in that neither the Grand Queen or the Elected Consort does much, so ruling is presumably left to the normal dromites.
