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.
Around 1% will be drones (male bees). The others will be workers (infertile females).
Neither males nor females are genetic copies of honey bees. Both males and females are part of the honey bee species and have their own unique genetic makeup.
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.
Three. In a honey bee hive, all of the bees are workers (infertile females) except for the queen and a few hundred drones (males).
It is the worker bees that make the honey.
Yes. All worker bees are females. The males are the drones, and they do no work in the hive, nor do they forage for food.
In a honey bee hive there will be one queen, several hundred drones (males) and all the others (up to 80000) will be workers (infertile females).
Male bees are called drones and females are workers.
Wasps,hornets, honey-bees, bumble bees, killer bees.Only the females (queen and workers) can sting, the males (drones) can't.
Females, males are only meant to mate with the queen.
An example of parthenogenesis is in whiptail lizards, where females can reproduce asexually by laying eggs that develop into clones of themselves without fertilization by a male. This reproductive strategy allows these lizards to maintain populations in the absence of males.
Only the females of bees, and wasps, have stings. The sting is a modified ovipositor -- the egg laying tube -- an organ that males do not have.
