Yes, it is true that drone bees take longer to develop into mature adults compared to worker bees and queen bees. The development of a drone bee typically takes about 24 days from egg to adult, whereas worker bees take around 21 days and queens about 16 days. This extended development time is due to the larger size and different biological needs of drones, which are primarily produced for mating.
21 days for honeybees.
A queen honey bee can live for three to five years. A drone honey bee can live for up to four months. Although it will die after mating, and any drones will be thrown out of the hive at the end of the season and will die. Worker honey bees can live up to six or seven weeks in summer, or up to about four months in winter.
yes. every wasp does. wasps die after 22 days from their larve.
The queen lays an egg in a cell within the hive or in the nest in the wild. After three days the egg will develop into a larva and the worker bees will then seal (cap) the cell with wax. After 21 days, 24 if a drone, the young bee will eat the wax capping of the cell and release itself from the cell.
A queen bee lays an egg in a 'cell'. When the egg starts to turn into a pupa, the worker bees seal the cell with wax. In approximately 21 days, the fully formed baby bee will scrape away the wax 'cap' and emerge from the cell.
A queen honey bee can lay over 1000 eggs per day. Worker bees construct hexagonal cells made of wax and the queen lays one egg in each of the cells. After three days the egg hatches into a larva and the worker bees feed the larva with pollen and seal the cell with a wax capping. After a total of 21 days, the egg has transformed into a fully developed adult bee and emerges from the cell.
Honey bees start life as an egg laid by the queen in a hexagonal cell within the hive. After three days the egg changes into a larva and the other bees feed it with pollen and then seal the cell with wax. After a total of 21 days from the time that the egg was laid, a fully formed worker bee will eat the wax capping and emerge from the cell. In the case of a drone (male bee) the time taken is 24 days.
STEP1. you have to get the flower pot module from Flora than you make 1 pot STEP2. send the pot to Bee Keeper Bill and he will give you the hive module STEP3. you get about 4 worker bees and mason jars STEP4. you go to the flower patch and pollinate your bees STEP5. than after you do that you put the bees in the hive with the mason jars STEP6. what about 2 days and collect your honey pots and set up the hive with your other bees and what 2 days for them and than after you get about over 70 pots you can use 20 for the queen bee blue print and than you have to have 50 honey pots and 10 red flowers and 1 drone bee and 5 worker bees.

Queen bees have a larval gestation period of 16 days, workers of 21 days, drones of 23 to 25 days.
A honeybee egg typically stays in its egg stage for about three days. After this period, the egg hatches into a larva, which will then go through several stages of development before pupation. The entire life cycle from egg to adult bee takes around 21 days for worker bees, with slight variations for drones and queens.
Basically, yes. Drones (males) don't have stings, and although the queen can sting, she rarely does and is never involved in guarding the hive. After it emerges from the pupal cell, a young worker bees stays in the hive and performs various tasks as requried. At around 17 days old, the bee's venom glands have fully developed and at this stage the workers will become guard bees, guarding the hive entrance from unwanted intruders. During this time they will also take their first flights outside the hive to learn the local area. At around 21 days old, the worker will become a forager, a job it will do for the rest of its life.
