How do the bees distinguish the queen?
The queen gives off a pheromone (a scent or chemical message) and as long as that pheromone is in the hive the bees know the queen is present and all is well.
Does a queen bee help out?
The queen honey bee's main purpose is just to lay eggs but she also emits a pheromone which gives stability and cohesion to the colony.
Does a queen honeybee prevent development of rival queens by the production of the pheromone known as queen substance?
No. In fact, when the colony is preparing to swarm, the queen will lay eggs in queen cells for the workers to develop into replacement queens. Once these larvae are close to pupation and the cells are capped, the queen will leave with about half of the workers. When the first new queen emerges from the pupal cell she will seek out the other queen pupal cells and will sting them through the cell wall to kill them. If two queens should emerge at the same time they will fight until one manages to sting the other to death. The queen pheromone acts more as an 'all is well' message in the hive and suppresses any egg laying by the workers, who are all female.
Why don't worker bees lay eggs?
Although worker bees and queen bees are all females, the queen bee releases a pheromone which causes the worker bees to be infertile. This is because the queen bee is the only one who can lay eggs in the colony. She wants to keep the workers under her control.
