Answer:

ASEXUAL

female worker bees are able to reproduce asexually: they lay eggs that are essentially fertilised by their own DNA, which develop into new worker bees. The team sequenced the entire genomes of a sample of Cape bees and compared them with other populations of honeybees that reproduce normally.

SEXUAL

The typical story of reproduction is that males and females of an animal species do it sexually. Generally, that's what honeybees do, too. Sperm from a male drone fertilizes a queen's eggs, and she sends out a chemical signal, or pheromone, that renders worker bees, which are all female, sterile when they detect it.
