The question points out to us that in honeybees, and this is true of most bees, the males, the drones, are haploid.
00:11
So in honeybees, the males, and there's the male symbol, are haploids.
00:17
They only have one set of chromosomes.
00:20
The females, which include the worker bees and the queen, are diploid.
00:31
And the question asks us about sperm production in the male bees.
00:36
And so we have a male bee, and of course it does indeed make sperm.
00:42
And how does that work? how would it work? well, of course, if honeybee's males were diploid, we'd expect them to go through meiosis, and the process of meiosis would end up producing the spermatids, and the spermatins would develop in sperm...
