What else can I help you with?
Are male bees fatherless?
Not all male bees are fatherless. Male bees, called drones, are produced from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. So drones do not have a father in the traditional sense, but they do have a genetic contribution from the queen bee.
Who is in charge of a honeybee colony?
The queen.
What are the male and female honeybee called?
Male honeybees are called drones. Female honeybees are called workers. Additionally, the Queen Bee is a female.
Does each bee have a different DNA?
No. In particular the drones from one queen will all have the same DNA because they are haploid -- that is, they are produced from an unfertilized egg and only have DNA from the queen. Because of this, they are effectively clones of each other.
How are male bees made in a beehive?
Male bees, also known as drones, are produced in a beehive through unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. These eggs develop into drones through a process called parthenogenesis, where the egg develops without fertilization.
What type of egg will become or form into drone bees?
Drone bees are produced from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. In bee biology, when a queen lays an egg in a regular hexagonal cell, it can develop into a worker bee or a drone depending on the type of egg and the conditions in the hive. If the egg is fertilized, it becomes a worker bee, while an unfertilized egg develops into a drone bee. Thus, only unfertilized eggs will become drones.
How many eggs does a honeybee lay at a time?
Only one at a time but a honeybee queen can lay 1000 eggs per day.
What proportion of the genes of two workers bees from a hive will be identical?
100%. because only queen bee reproduce and males are produced from unfertilized egg ie- there genetic will be the same. although the queen be mates with aprox 20 males (drones) the offsprings will be 100% identical
What type of eggs will become drones?
Eggs fertilized by drones become female worker bees, while unfertilized eggs develop into male drones. Drones are produced from haploid eggs laid by the queen.
How do male honeybees have babies?
Male honeybees do not have babies. The insects in question (Apis spp) does not produce eggs but instead mates with their colony's queen. All queens in all honeybee colonies will be capable of producing fertilized eggs with male before the drones die and unfertilized eggs through virgin births (parthenogenesis).
What value do you learn from honey bees?
Answer:The basic thing that we learn from social insects like honeybee is Teamwork and hardwork. The worker honeybee works from dusk to dawn and collect nectar for the hive and the queen. They are completely loyal to their queen.
Did honeybee hutch found his mother?
Yes, at episode 91 (the last one) he finds his mother, the queen.
