A honeybee hive might seem like a peaceful utopia, but in reality, it’s buzzing with internal conflict between warring factions. And the biggest conflict is between the queen and the worker bees.

To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:

- Haplodiploidy: is a sex-determination system in which males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid.

- Sex determination in honeybees: In honeybees, the drones (males) are entirely derived from the queen, their mother. The diploid queen has 32 chromosomes and the haploid drones have 16 chromosomes. Drones produce sperm cells that contain their entire genome, so the sperm are all genetically identical except for mutations.

- Eusocial: showing an advanced level of social organization, in which a single female or caste produces offspring and nonreproductive individuals cooperate in caring for the young.

- Fertilize: cause (an egg, female animal, or plant) to develop a new individual by introducing male reproductive material.

- Genetics: the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.

- Queen Bee: the single reproductive female in a hive or colony of honeybees.

- Sterile: not able to produce children or young.
