Was thinking of making a bee inspired race where women are the only sentient members of the race. Women are large sized while men are small. Men have a very barbaric society where they'll fight wars to capture enemy queens so they can either kill them for their queen or so they can take that queen back home and treat her like a goddess. The men are small dimwitted creatures with faces that look like chewed bubble gum.
I'm struggling on what abilities to give them and the females appearance.
Has anyone on TG ever tried something similar?
What would such a race look like when they achieve nation size would they have just one queen or multiple or could they never achieve nation size?

Drones are actually a lot larger than the average worker. Smarter, too. They need to be.
They live a pretty easy life but they are under a constant stay of execution: As soon as resources become even slightly scarce they'll all be slain or exiled, because they can be easily replaced and they don't do any work.
Frankly I feel this is a much more interesting dynamic to work with for a fantasy race, compared to making the 30th race of animal people whose males are bestial and repulsive and whose females are anthropomorphic and far more sympathetic.

Workers are still smaller than drones though.

Actually I had a part of a home made rpg I'm mastering that's about a species with some of these characteristics.
For the hability, you can basically make the men agiles, able to polinate, and to fly. Had just some little things like weapons proper to their kind and that's it.
For what happen if they become nation size, well take a look at real beehives when they become too big: there's dissidence, then they split. And start over the wars.
Female appearance should be like how amazons are to you: on averrage bigger and more musculated, but still normal women.

>The men are used until they've outlived their usefulness, then they're thrown to the wolves Doesn't sound too different from human society to me. Lions may be the only species where women don't actively sabotage the man, and even that's only for as long as the man establishes his dominance against other men.
