For honey bees the only duty the queen has is to lay eggs.
For other bees, such as bumble bees, when a queen comes out of hibernation she has to do everything for herself from foraging for food to starting to build the nest. She tends the first larvae as they develop, but when the first workers emerge they take over all the duties except for egg laying.
