When a queen bee dies or leaves with a swarm, several young larvae will be selected as new contenders for the throne and will be fed exclusively on royal jelly, a substance secreted from glands on worker bees' heads. Their cell will be built up into a structure roughly the size and shape of a peanut, and the first new queen to emerge will seek out and kill any other queens in the hive. Then she will go on a mating flight and mate with multiple drones before returning to the hive and beginning a life of egg laying.
