The queen lays an egg in a cell and after three days the egg changes into a larva. The worker bees in the hive feed the larva with pollen and then seal the cell with wax. After a total of 21 days, a fully formed worker bee will eat its way through the wax capping of the cell and emerge into the hive. For approximately 10 days the young bee will be a 'nurse bee' looking after the new eggs that have been laid and feeding pollen to the larvae. For the following 10 days the bee becomes a 'house bee' keeping the hive clean and doing general maintenance work in the hive. It is then ready to be a fully qualified worker and spends the next 3 weeks of its life collecting nectar and pollen for the hive. It literally works its self to death and at the end of this 3 week period it dies having been alive for only 6 weeks. (6 months in winter)
