If, however, an egg has been fertilized by a male, a female hatches. Therefore, a male bee always has one parent, and a female bee has two. If you trace the history of a family of male bees, you will have 1 parent, 2 grandparents (because he laid a female which requires a male and a female), 3 great grandparents, 5 great-great grandparents, etc… This sequence of numbers of parents is the Fibonacci sequence. The number of ancestors at each level, Fn, is the number of female ancestors, which is n−1, plus the number of male ancestors, which is n–2. Tadadada… The Fibonacci sequence is truly everywhere. In conclusion, it is truly fascinating how a simple sequence can have inexplicable connections to complex mathematics and nature. Why should a bee's family, sunflower seeds, a master's painting, and the golden ratio all be connected by a single sequence? I really enjoyed studying this topic because it reminds us that mathematics is not just about the binomial expansion but also about the beauty of our world. This shows how complex the world is and really shows the beauty of our galaxy, because yes, our galaxy follows the golden ration. Sources: Mathisfun. “Fibonacci Sequence”. Mathisfun,
