After having sex with the male she rips off her wings and burrys her self into the ground. she is actually not pregnant. she hold the spem in a special sac/ organ and she fertalizes her eggs with it for the rest of her life. once in the ground she usually never returns to the surface. she starts laying eggs right away and lays about one a day. 10 days later they hatch and be come larva and start spinning their coccones. 25 days after they were layed they become fully working ants. They bring the queen food and work for her until they die. most worker ants only live for one to two week but the queen herself can live upto 30 years!

A queen bee will mate with a drone bee, then produce eggs which she will lay in a honeycomb cavity and cap. The egg turns into a bee within a 24 hour gestation period.

Bees don't bear live young, so can't be said to be pregnant. The queen bee lays eggs.
