Reproduction in the insects. Among the insects, which of all animals are most distinctly adapted to living in the air, the spermatozoa of the male are passed directly into the body of the female through a special duct. The semen is discharged into a receptacle, from which the spermatozoa pass, a few at a time, into another space, wherein the female gametes (the eggs) are fertilized. It is possible for a queen bee to retain a quantity.
