The males come from unfertilized eggs. Fertilized eggs are female. It's relatively easy in this system to drop the male and just have females. These species have the reproductive advantages of parthenogenesis, but not the flexibility advantages of mating.

Parthenogenesis is a process of reproduction in which female egg develops into an individual without fertilization. Parthenogenesis has been seen in ants, wasps, bees etc.
Ants lays eggs which are haploid and become males. Ants do not need to mate to produce male ants. In some cases, queen store sperm cells and produce fertilized ova which produce female ant.
Parthenogenesis allows animals to produce when sexual activity is not possible due to environmental conditions.
