unfertilized eggs and therefore represent only the DNA of the queen that laid the eggs, i.e. have only a mother. Workers and queens result from fertilized eggs and therefore have both a mother and a father. A modified form of Parthenogenesis controls sex differentiation. The sex Allele is Polymorphic and so long as two different variants are present, a female bee results. If both sex alleles are identical, diploid drones are produced. Honeybees detect and destroy diploid drones after the eggs hatch.

determines the sex of a fetus. Within the eggs of females, they only contain the X chromosome, although within the sperm of males it contains either an X or Y chromosome. The X and Y chromosomes in the male sperm are called sex chromosomes that determine the gender. In the womb, it is said that the all embryo start out as the same sex that all embryos have feminine looking genitalia.

larva hosts will emerge from their egg very soon after being laid but wait for the host to reach a further stage in its life cycle before starting to feed off the host (Quicke, 1997, Sagarra, Vincent, 1999).

Although the most common viewed type of host predation where a female wasp deliberately seeks out a particular host, paralyses it and oviposits its eggs can be considered the most unspecified
