Stages in queen bee's life cycle:
* Open cell:
+ Egg: 3 days
+ Larva (4moults): 5 days
*Sealed cell:
+ Larva / Pro-pupa (1 moult): 2 days
+ Pupa(1 moult): 6 days
* From egg to emergence: 16 days
* After emergence:
+ Summer bee: c. 3 years
+ Winter bee: ditto
Functions of the queen:
* Day 1: On hatching, may kill sealed queens (may swarm).
* Day 3 - 5: Orientation flights.
* Week 1 - 3: Mating flights.
* Year 3 - 5:
+ Start laying 2 - 4 days after mating.
+ Produce pheromones (chemical messengers) that inform the colony of her presence and inhibits queen raising.
+ If the queen dies (or is removed) or is old, the workers can produce queen from fertilized eggs.
+ Queens are produced when the colony swarms.

Is there only one queen bee in a hive, or can there be multiple queen bees present?

What are the differences between male and female honey bees?
Male honey bees, also known as drones, are larger than female honey bees, which are worker bees and queens. Drones do not have stingers and their main role is to mate with the queen. Female worker bees are smaller and have stingers for defense. Queens are the largest bees in the colony and are responsible for laying eggs.
Do bees have the same job their whole life?
No, bees have different roles at different stages of their life. For example, younger bees typically work inside the hive, caring for the brood and maintaining the hive, while older bees serve as foragers, collecting nectar and pollen.
Why do plants flower and what is the significance of this process in their life cycle?
Plants flower to reproduce and create seeds. The significance of this process in their life cycle is that it allows plants to produce offspring and ensure the continuation of their species. Flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, which help transfer pollen between plants for fertilization. This leads to the formation of seeds, which can then grow into new plants.
How are queen bee clones created and what role do they play in the hive's hierarchy?
Queen bee clones are created through a process called "supersedure," where worker bees select a larva and feed it royal jelly to develop into a new queen. These queen bee clones play a crucial role in the hive's hierarchy as they are the only fertile female bees responsible for laying eggs and maintaining the colony's population. They are the leaders of the hive and are essential for its survival and reproduction.

Can bees survive without a queen?
If a queen dies, then the worker bees will feed royal jelly to some of the larvae and they will turn into queen bees.

This is still a dead end until the queen finds a drone, mates and gets down into the business of egg laying.
