How long are female honey bees pregnant?
Honey bees queens lay eggs, they do not bear live young so can't be said to be pregnant.
Do both female and male bees make honey?
No, only the female worker bees make honey. The female queen bee and the male drone bees do not make or gather food themselves. The queen spends her time laying eggs while the drones have only one purpose, to mate with a queen when she is on her one and only mating flight. The drones are only produced in the spring/summer and are killed off each year once their job is done.

What is gender of bee?
Females are the Queen and the worker bees.Males are the drones.
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.

Which bees lay eggs?
If by "which bees" you mean which sub-species or type of bee then the answer is: all of them. Honey bees, bumble bees, miner bees - the lot. If however you mean the sex or caste of bee then the simple answer is that it is the queen bee - which is a female - who lays eggs. But there is a more complex answer that is more accurate. If we think about honey bees then the worker bees - who are also female - are physically able to lay eggs too. However, their eggs can only hatch into male bees (drones) and their inclination to lay is usually hormonally suppressed when a fertile queen is present.
