When a queen lays an egg she chooses whether or not to fertilise it from her store of sperm. If she does, the resulting insect will be female; if not, it will be male.
So, all female bees are diploid -- two sets of chromosomes, one from father, one from mother, and all male bees are haploid -- one set of chromosomes from the mother only.

How is sex determined in most ants and bees?
by the number of chromosomes (haploid, Diploid)
How do you use haploid in a sentence?
Haploid means that a cell has only one set of chromosomes. Here are some sentences.A haploid cell only has half the chromosomes that a normal cell does.Sperm and eggs are haploid cells.Male wasps, bees, and ants are haploid organisms because they develop from unfertilized eggs!
What is the difference between male bees and female bees?
Female bees can produce baby bees the males cannot. The female bees are diploid and the male bees are haploid. The antennae of a male bee has thirteen segments, while the antennae of a female has twelve. This is one way in which male and female bees are different. The worker (unfertilized female) honey bee does all the work, both in and out of the hive, whereas the male (drone) bee does no work at all. The bad news is that at the end of the breeding season, the drone is ejected from the hive and dies because he doesn't know how to forage for food.

What does haploide mean?
"Haploid" refers to the number of chromosomes in a gamete.You may talk of a haploid number, haploid nucleus, haploid cell, or even a haploid organism, which is an animal or plant whose body cells contain the haploid number of chromosomes. Examples of haploid organisms are male honey bees and the leafy parts of mosses.The haploid number is often the number of chromosomes in a single set (n); this is true of us humans, for example. Our gametes contain one set of chromosomes (n = 23), and our somatic (body) cells two sets (2n = 46).However, some organisms have more sets; some wheat is tetraploid (4n) and its gametes are therefore 2n. In these cases the number of chromosomes in a single set (n) may be called monoploid.
