It all depends on whether the queen fertilizes the egg or not. Fertilized eggs will develop into females (workers or another queen), and unfertilized eggs will develop into males (drones). This decision is made by the queen depending on the size of the cell into which she lays the egg. Drone cells are slightly larger than worker cells.

∙ 11y agoAny female (fertilized) egg will normally develop into a worker. For it to develop into a queen the egg is laid in a special cell called queen cup. Which becomes a queen cell when they built up. These larvae are exclusively fed on royal jelly and when they pupate they turn into queens rather than female workers.
