The bee that lays eggs is called queen bee.
working bees feed the egg laying bee and look after young
unfertilized eggs(n) hatch into males and fertilized eggs(2n) hatch into female.
Explanation:
- In honeybees sex is determined by haplodiploid system.
- sex is determined by the fertilization and non- fertilization of eggs rather than the presence or absence of sex chromosome.
- diploid embryo (2n) that developed from fertilized egg become female, so they are diploid and carry two set of chromosomes.
- females are two type, queen and worker bee depending on how they nourished as larvae.
- Queens are able to lay eggs and mate with male and working bees are not able to lay eggs, they will take care the young honeybees and receive nectar, clean hive, feed brood etc.
- males or drones are developed from unfertilized egg so they are haploid, they carry one set of chromosomes.
