alleryIn honey bees, drones (male bees) develop from
Aunfertilised haploid eggs
Bfertilised diploid eggs
Cfertilised eggs with an extra Y chromosome
Dasexual budding from worker bees
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. unfertilised haploid eggs
Honey bees use haplo-diploidy.
Queens and workers (females) develop from fertilised, diploid eggs.
Drones (males) develop from unfertilised eggs and are haploid — they have only one set of chromosomes.
