These drones are raised in cells that are significantly larger than the cells used for workers. A type of asexual reproduction in which egg develops without fertilization to form a new individual. If parthenogenesis (type of asexual reproduction in which egg develops without fertilization to form a new individual) takes place in bees, a drone or male bee is produced. Royal jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used in the nutrition of larvae, as well as adult queens. It is secreted from the glands in the hypo-pharynx of nurse bees while the worker bees are fed the bee bread. As a result of the difference in diet, the queen will develop into a sexually mature female, unlike the worker bees. Queens are raised in specially constructed queen cells.
