The process of development of adults from the unfertilized egg is known as parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis occurs in insects such as bees, wasps and bumble bees. Normally, males are produced in these insects. The individuals develop from unfertilized eggs and contain the single (haploid) set of chromosome.
