The queen and the drones. Most animals reproduce sexually, which means that both males and females are required for the species to survive Normally, the honeybee is no exception to this rule All honey bees exhibit both sexual and asexual reproduction Females are produced sexually from fertilized queens, who go on mating flights away from their home colony to a drone congregation area and mate with multiple drones before returning. The queen is the only reproductive female in the colony
She is mated by one or more males throughout her life span, and thus lays fertilized eggs which turn. Honey bees are born from eggs but inside the mother’s womb where the egg hatches inside the body of the mother which is termed as ovoviviparous Honey bees born from the mother’s womb are grown inside there until they are born termed as viviparous.
