My comment:

Aunque la traducción literal es abeja obrera creo que en español la expresión hormiga trabajadora es mucho más común en este contexto

Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo porque no hay que olvidar el contexto cultural heredado de Esopo y sus maravillosas fábulas. "La hormiga y el escarabajo" es un ejemplo. Si bien las abejas son retetrabajadoras creo que, como imagen y arquetipo, hemos preferido a la hormiguita. En contraste, para el mundo anglosajón la abeja es dechado de trabajadora.

It's not very fair to Mauricio N. It's cut and paste of his translation.

Actually is a mistake since I haven't seen Mauricio's answer until I have my reply posted. Of course Mauricio was first accurate response. I'm very glad we both see it the same way. This is not supposed to be a competition, is it?

As John Lennon said in one of his songs, I didn't mean to hurt you. But I have realized that some translators don't pay it fair. Otherwise, it's true that the site needs improving. For example, once you click the submit button you can't correct your translationi if you realize you have made a mistake or typos, or cancel it if you realize that sb else has given the same translation while you were typing yours.
