How can you tell? (sorry, I'm totally ignorant when it comes to...well any biology...

How can you tell the sex of an ant? Generally if the ant has no wings it's female. All worker ants are female. Male ants are very rare and in most species they will have wings. So if you see an ant without wings (most ants) it's female.
If you see an ant that has wings it's called an "alate" there is a 50/50 chance it's female in that case. Queen alates tend to have larger heads, male alates have very small heads and big eyes.
Bees are also mostly female.
