Explanation:
Sexual reproduction refers to the involvement of 2 individuals and their germ cells.

Because in honey bees drones are produced from unfertilized eggs.
Explanation:
- Honey bees can be produced from fertilized eggs and unfertilized eggs. The eggs which are fertilized give rise to female honey bees.
- So female honey bees are considered to be produced from sexual reproduction.
- Male honey bees which are also called drones are produced from unfertilized eggs, therefore, drones are considered to be produced from asexual reproduction and the process is called haploid parthenogenesis.
- drones contain half the number of chromosomes present in fertilized egg.
