Bees don't reproduce asexually. The queen is the only reproductive female in the colony. She is mated by one or more males throughout her life span, and thus lays fertilized eggs which turn into drones.
The term "asexual reproduction" means that new plants are created without the need for gametes. Self-pollination is not asexual reproduction -- the same plant merely provides both of the gametes used.The two main forms of asexual reproduction (apomixis) arevegetative (budding, rhizomes, aerial stems, or bulb division) andnon-vegetative, which includes parthenogenic or androgenetic seeds (agamospermy).
No, a honey bee can only sting once because its stinger is barbed and gets stuck in the skin, causing the bee to die after stinging.
Male honey bees, known as drones, are larger than female honey bees, which are worker bees. Drones do not have stingers and their main role is to mate with the queen bee. Female worker bees are smaller, have stingers, and perform tasks such as collecting nectar, making honey, and caring for the hive.
This relationship is an example of mutualism, where both the bee and the flower benefit from the interaction. The bee receives nectar as a food source, while the flower gets pollinated by the bee, aiding in its reproduction.
Bees help flower reproduction by transferring pollen from one flower to another as they forage for nectar. This transfer of pollen between flowers allows for fertilization to occur, which is necessary for the development of seeds and fruits in the plant. This process, known as pollination, is essential for the reproduction and genetic diversity of many plant species.
Edelweiss plants reproduce through both sexual and asexual means. Sexual reproduction occurs through seeds produced by pollination, while asexual reproduction can occur through division of the plant's roots, allowing new plants to form from existing ones.

Honey bees reproduce through a process called sexual reproduction. The queen bee mates with several drones during a nuptial flight, storing their sperm to fertilize her eggs. She lays eggs that develop into worker bees, drones, or new queens.
Both. An unfertilized egg hatches to become a male bee (drone). Interestingly, drones have only half the chromosomes of female bees. When a drone fertilizes an egg it hatches to become a female bee (either a queen or a worker). So -- all drones are the product of asexual reproduction. All queens and workers are the product of sexual reproduction.

The Africanized honey bee. Euorpean honey bees were breed with African honey bees, creating a hybrid bee known as the Africanized honey bee, or killer bee.
When a honey bee goes to a flower, it goes to collect the pollen. This is called mutualism between the two species because they are both helped by their interaction. The bee gains pollen in which it can create honey, a food source. The flower gets its pollen transported to other flowers which can help the reproduction of its species.
I hope that that bee is not an Africanized honey bee.
Honey bee IS the common name of the honey bee. The scientific name of the western honey bee is Apis Mellifera.
