Honeybees.

Detailed answer:

In honey bees as also in wasps, ants and termites, there is haplodiploid sex determination. The sex of the individual is determined by the change in number in genome. In honey bees the females are diploid (2n) and formed through fusion of sperm with egg, while males are haploid and develop, directly from the egg through haploid parthenogenesis.
