The most obvious way of identifying a queen in most bee species is by her size. She will be larger than the other members of the colony. Bees do not grow after they emerge from the pupal cell, so this size difference remains constant.
In honey bees, the queen's abdomen is longer, slightly wider and more pointed at the end than that of a worker. A drone is also larger than a worker, but its abdomen is more stubby, with a squarer end. To give some idea of the differences, a queen's body length will be between 15 and 19 millimetres; a worker 13 to 17 mm; and a drone 15 to 18 mm.
As can be seen, the difference is not great, so finding one queen among many thousands of workers can be difficult. For this reason, beekeepers often mark the queen's thorax with a light-coloured spot to make her more visible.
