Is the honey bee a good parent?

Yes. Honey bees spend the first three weeks of their lives looking after eggs and younger bees.

*****

In any honey bee hive or colony, it is the Queen that lays the eggs. The worker bees (all infertile females) have the task of rearing the young, which will either develop into worker bees (infertile females) or drones (male). In times when food is scarce, the drones may be driven out of the hive or colony. So, it is not really about good parenting, as to instinctive collective parenting!
