Hardwood, Flower, and Moon ( a Riddle)

Many workers with no backbones
Went to work looking like drones.
Two bossy birds, one called "Eater,"
The other a guide, some called "Leader,"
Had a knack of getting in their way--
Eating them for sport, survival, play.
Also, a hardwood, melon, flower, moon,
Social creatures-- onomatopoeia tune.
Earthy elixir, nickname of lovers;
One who swarms, stings, and hovers.

In a list

    I might know this one, but I'm not even 50% sure. I'm going to give it a try though.

    Alrighty, that I can do... Just noticed that you have this as a column and not a poem... did you mean that or no? Thought I'd point it out...

    Hey Uba, good to hear from you again. Why i thought you became a gypsy and joined The Cosmic Carnival, or a South American Country and Western Band, or something? Glad you are still state side, though. Your answer that you i.m.'d me is close, but give me a type of this. Best Regards, and ttys, Avi

    Alrighty, I do believe I am back in action. Whew, this month has been a disaster. But, hopefully, it'll continue to stay at the semi-bearable level of insanity it's currently at, and not drop back down to where it was. Alrighty, enough of my griping, onto what I should be doing, i.e. praising yet another WONDERFUL piece of work! Great job with this one, I think I know what it is! Lots of luck,

    It looks fine to mee.. But I am guessing you had problems with the rich and plain format? It take a few to get the hang of it.. I am sorry you are having a hard time hon.. As always your riddles delight me.. Take Care, and best wishes Catressa

    Hey Huntressa, for someone who claims to never know the answer to these riddles, you have been the first yet again to correctly figure one out! Congratulations and best regards, always, David
