Laying worker bee honeycomb. See broad pattern and drone brood in worker cells (caps protruding). This honeycomb is taken from the dying family without the queen.
A laying worker bee is a worker bee that lays unfertilized eggs, usually in the absence of a queen bee. Only drones develop from the eggs of laying worker bees (with some exceptions, see thelytoky). A beehive cannot survive with only a laying worker bee.[1]
