Nouns are words that represent people, animals, things, or places. They can be categorized based on gender into four main types: masculine, feminine, common, and neuter. Gender refers to the classification of nouns as either male or female (or in some cases, as neutral).

1. Masculine nouns represent male beings or entities. Examples include words like man, king, or bull.
2. Feminine nouns denote female beings or entities. For example, woman, queen, or cow.

Now, coming to the sentence, He was stung by a bee, the word bee refers to an insect, which in the traditional sense is categorized as feminine. However, within the context of gender-specific terminology for bees, a drone is the male counterpart. Drones are male bees that are responsible for mating with the queen.
