If by "which bees" you mean which sub-species or type of bee then the answer is: all of them. Honey bees, bumble bees, miner bees - the lot.

If however you mean the sex or caste of bee then the simple answer is that it is the queen bee - which is a female - who lays eggs.

But there is a more complex answer that is more accurate.

If we think about honey bees then the worker bees - who are also female - are physically able to lay eggs too. However, their eggs can only hatch into male bees (drones) and their inclination to lay is usually hormonally suppressed when a fertile queen is present.
