Drones(males) are produced from unfertilized eggs and therefore represent only the DNA of the queen that laid the eggs, i.e. have only a mother. Workers (females without reproductive capacity) and queens (females with reproductive capacity) result from fertilized eggs and therefore have both a mother and a father. A modified form of Parthenogenesis controls sex differentiation. The sex Allele is Polymorphic and so long as two different variants are present, a female bee results. If both sex alleles are identical, diploid drones are produced. Honeybees detect and destroy diploid drones after the eggs hatch.

What is one difference between male bees and female bees?
The male's eyes are so much larger because they need to find a potential queen in flight. Second, males are slightly larger than a female worker bee. Third, look very closely at the segmented portion of the bee's antennae.
Do male bees sting, or is it only the female bees that have stingers?
Only female bees have stingers, while male bees do not.
How is gender determined in bees?
Well, the difference is that the worker bees (female) and the queen bee have stingers, as the drones (male) do not. So, if a bee has a stinger, it is a female, and if it doesn't have a stinger, it is a male. Hope I helped! :)
Do male or female bees sting?
Female bees sting.
What is the name for female and male bees?
Male bees are called drones and females are workers.
Which bees sting male or female?
Only female bees can sting.
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.
Do male bees sting, or is it only the female bees that possess a stinger?
Only female bees possess a stinger, while male bees do not have stingers and cannot sting.
Can you get male Queen Bees?
No, all queen bees are female, as are all worker bees. The male bees are called drones.
Which egg of honey bees hatch in to male and which in to female?
The unfertilized eggs of the queen bee hatch into male bees, or drones. Worker bees, or females, and female queen bees hatch from fertilized eggs.
Are worker bees female?
no they are all male
What male Bees are known as?
Male bees are known as drones. They are larger than female worker bees and do not have stingers. Their main role is to mate with the queen bee.
