Does a male bee have a father?
When a queen bee lays an egg she usually fertilizes it with a sperm she received on her mating flight. However, when she lays an egg in a drone cell she will not fertilize it. Bee eggs will develop whether or not they were fertilized, but the result is very different. Fertilized eggs will always develop into a female (all worker bees are female), and unfertilized eggs will develop into a male. This means that males will only carry genes from the queen, not from any drone she mated with. Drones may not have a father, but they do have a grandfather.
What is the difference between the eggs of Queen bee and worker bee?
Firstly, both the queen and the workers are female. Only the drones are male. The queen is larger than the workers. She has been fertilized and is carrying sperm in order to fertilize eggs as she lays them (up to 2,000 eggs a day). Workers, although female, cannot lay eggs if there is a queen in the hive. Should the queen die, workers can start to lay eggs, but as they have not been fertilized these eggs can only develop into drones, so unless there is a developing queen cell the colony will eventually die out when there are insufficient workers to maintain the hive. A queen never leaves the hive other than to mate, or in a swarm, so she does not collect food. In fact, the workers have to feed her and take care of all her needs.
Which type of stem cell are fertilized eggs?
Pluripotent
Why does a egg have protein in it?
Protein is a building block. Eggs can become chickens.
Does the queen bee have to mate with her own children?
No. In fact a queen usually won't mate with drones from her own hive.When a new queen is about a week old she leaves the hive on a mating flight. She flies some distance and climbs some 30 or 40 metres into the air chased by a number of drones. She mates on the wing with several drones, even up to 20, then returns to the hive. If she didn't encounter enough drones on the first flight she may go out again on another day, but usually after she returns to the hive she won't leave it again unless with a swarm.The queen stores the sperm she receives in an organ called the spermetheca and this is sufficient for her entire egg-laying life: an average of three years. She will not mate again.
What type of honey bee egg will become drones?
Unfertilised eggs hatch as drones.
How do bees reproduce?
Bees reproduce through a process called sexual reproduction. The queen bee mates with male drones during a nuptial flight, after which she stores the sperm in her body and uses it to fertilize her eggs in the hive. The fertilized eggs develop into worker bees or new queens, while unfertilized eggs become male drones.
What is the difference between drone and bee egg?
Drones are male, they don't lay eggs; only the queen bee can lay eggs.
Do bumblebees lay eggs?
Yes, bumblebees do lay eggs. The queen bumblebee is responsible for laying eggs in the nest, typically in spring after emerging from hibernation. She lays fertilized eggs that develop into female worker bees and unfertilized eggs that become male drones. The worker bees take over foraging and caring for the next generation as the colony grows.
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.
Why can't drones bees gather their own food?
Drones are males hatched from unfertilized eggs. They don't collect nectar, nor do they have a sting. A drones' primary role is to mate with a fertile queen. They die after mating. If food is scarce, the drones are driven from the hive, rather than use up resources.
Do honey comb bees sting?
Yes, however, the stinger is actually a modified ovipositor. An ovipositor is the body part, or device a queen bee uses to lay eggs. She can also use it as a stinger. Worker bees can also sting, meaning worker bees are also female. Their stinger is an ovipositor. Most worker bees never lay eggs, but occasionally a worker can become a "laying worker." In most cases she has not been fertilized, and non-fertilized eggs become drones. Drones are male bees and, being male, they have no ovipositor and cannot sting.
What do honey bees reproduce?
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.
Which eggs hatch in to males and which into females in case of honey bees?
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.
What insect does the male bee come from?
Male bees (drones) come from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. Fertilized eggs produce females (workers or new queens).
Which member of bee colony is the only one that lay eggs?
Only the Queen bee lays eggs. Most of them are for worker bees but occasionally they will be drones or a new Queen.
What do you do on poptropica after you free the drones?
after you free the drones even the last one that is by the controls click on the controls and then type in the requested control sequence. Then smash mr. bunnies ship.
