Original Note:
The Queen bee determines the sex of honey bee offspring using stored sperm from drones. Fertilized eggs become female (workers) unfertilized become male (drones) In very rare circumstances when female (workers) lay eggs they usually produce sterile male (drones). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplodiploidy
