Abdullah, if my dictionary is not wrong there in Albanian the word
"matkë" trhe same as Rom. "matcã" and it means queen of bees exactly as
in Romanian.More, in Albanian it has an secondary meaning of any animal
leader of a group of animals .

For "drone" I have here in Albanian a "brumbull"
For "swarm" (lujmë) there is too "roit" as the Rom. "roi, a roi"
