Explanation:

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

But in the case of honey bee only one individual is required and no fusion of germ cell takes place.

Thus it's an asexual mode of reproduction

Hope it helps

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.
