There are various illnesses that can affect honey bees including acarine, nosema, European Foul Brood, American Foul Brood, chalk brood. The biggest single problem affecting bee colonies is a mite called Varroa.
Bee brood -- eggs and developing larvae -- have to be kept warm at around 35°C (95°F). The bees do this by covering the brood cells with their bodies and vibrating their flight muscles without moving their wings, thus generating heat.If, for any reason, there are not enough bees in the hive to cover the brood fully, the brood that is not covered will get too cold and will die. This is called 'chilled brood'.
A nide is a nest or a brood of Pheasants, as far as I know.
Yes.
Larva is one of the stages of development of a bee, equivalent to a grub or caterpiller. You don't normally see them because they never leave the brood cell.

Yes. Queen cells are much larger and completely different from drone and worker cells.
They are both fed as grubs by the nurse bees tending the brood. There is no concept of first or second.
The comb cells in a bee hive are of a hexagonal (six sided) shape and have three main purposes. 1) Raising of brood. The queen bee will lay an egg in an empty cell and after three days the egg will change into a small larva. The other bees in the colony will then feed the larva with pollen and seal the cell with wax. After 21 days from the time that the egg was laid, the larva will have grown into a fully formed worker bee and will eat its way out of the sealed cell having sustained itself by eating the pollen that had been stored in its cell before it was sealed. 2) The worker bees, having collected nectar from various plants, will mix it with enzymes to produce honey and that honey will be deposited in a cell and allowed to ripen. When it is ripe, the worker bees will seal the cell with wax as above. 3) Pollen collected from plants will be stored in separate cells near the brood nest and used as a 'larder' for feeding larvae as above. Cells containing pollen don't need a wax cap.
