What is a queen bee?

The egg for queen bee like any other bee is laid and in the development stages it is fed with royal jelly.Those larva that get royal jelly develop into queen bees and r3est into workers and drones.


What are the differences between the queen bee the worker bee and the drone?

It all depends on whether the queen fertilizes the egg or not. Fertilized eggs will develop into females (workers or another queen), and unfertilized eggs will develop into males (drones). This decision is made by the queen depending on the size of the cell into which she lays the egg. Drone cells are slightly larger than worker cells.


Eggs laid by the queen bee could develop into other queen bees what happens to them?

When a queen lays an egg she has the choice of whether or not to fertilize it. If she does, it will develop into a female; and unfertilized eggs develop into males (drones). The female eggs will usually develop into workers, but if the workers build a queen cell around it and feed the larva exclusively on royal jelly it will develop into a new queen. What is interesting is that it is the workers that decide which egg is to develop into a new queen, not the queen.

How do you make a queen bee leave the nest?

The queen bee of a hive does not leave the nest by any means. Without a queen bee, a hive simply cannot exist. If one were to remove the queen bee, it would be a matter of hours before the hive is in complete chaos. In the event the queen bee is about to die, there is already a "lady-in-waiting" to take her place. In simpler terms, the queen cannot be persuaded to leave. It is simply not in their design.
