Honey bees as sex mosaics.   

>Hymenoptera are haplodiploid: females arise from fertilized, diploid eggs,
while males arise from unfertilized, haploid eggs. The cytogenetic mechanisms
underlying haplodiploidy enable remarkable phenomena including
female cloning, male cloning and gynandromorphy (sex mosaics). We
collected 11 newly emerged putative gynandromorph honeybees from a
single colony, assessed the sex of various tissues morphologically and determined
the genetic origin (maternal or paternal) of each tissue by genotyping.<
