The chemical potential
 \mu
means in layman terms the 'happiness' of a quantum system to take in a new particle. It actually represemts the work done to take in a new particle.

For Bose-Einstein condensate the chemical potential is negative as the system is 'happy' to take in a new particle. This is due to the fact that the wavefuntion of all the particles kind of merge so that they donot have their own 'indivisual resistance'
