What is a honey bee life cycle?

Answer 1

four

Answer 2

First the queen lays an egg in a honeycomb, and it stays there for 1-3 days. Next the egg hatches into a larva, and workers feed the larva as it spins a cocoon around itself like a butterfly. In the cocoon the larva develops into a pupa, so it then has eyes, wings, and legs. It is now looking more like a bee. The last stage is an adult bee, it has completed metamorphosis as it chews through the cocoon. Then it it a worker bee like the others and the cycle repeats itself.

Answer 3

A honey bee has a limited life cycle. The queen lays an egg in a cell and in 21 days it will hatch into a fully formed young worker bee. It spends its first 10 days as a 'nurse' bee, feeding and looking after the other eggs and larvae in the colony. The next 10 days are as 'house' bees, keeping the hive or colony clean, accepting pollen and nectar from returning flying bees and storing it near the nest area. It then spends the next 3 weeks as a flying bee, collecting nectar and pollen as required by the colony, after which it dies, having literally worked itself to death. Its total life span is around 6 weeks in the summer and 6 months in the winter.

Answer 4

The Queen bees life cycle depends on her performance. Generally 2 to 3 years. But if her egg production drops off the girls will feed royal jelly to a few eggs that are less than 3 days old, and generate new queens. The old queen might swarm away with about 1/2 the girls, or stay to try to kill the new queens. There can be only 1 Queen in a hive, although on occasion a daughter, and mother can co-exist. Beekeepers will replace a non performing queen.

Answer 5

First an impregnated queen will find a colony site and lay eggs to produce workers and males. In the winter the males will die and the queen and the workers will go into hibernation.

Answer 6

In most European countries, a worker honey bee lives for about six weeks in the summer and six months in the winter.
