Best answer

In honeybees, female workers and queens have 32, 16 are contributed by the queen's eggs and 16 come from the drones sperm. Since drones’ hatch from unfertilized eggs, they only have the 16 chromosomes that were in the egg. Drones are haploid because they only have one set of chromosomes.
