Bee larvae look like little white maggots; no legs, antennae or wings. They´re put in empty honeycombs and fed with nectar and honey. If a larvae is to become a queen bee, it´s fed with a special kind of nectar making it grow bigger than normal.

When it´s time to pupate the cell is sealed off, and eventually the adult bee will come out and start its life as a worker or queen. Or a drone, built to fertilize the queen.
