The term chilled brooding on bees?
Bee brood -- eggs and developing larvae -- have to be kept warm at around 35°C (95°F). The bees do this by covering the brood cells with their bodies and vibrating their flight muscles without moving their wings, thus generating heat.If, for any reason, there are not enough bees in the hive to cover the brood fully, the brood that is not covered will get too cold and will die. This is called 'chilled brood'.
What is the difference between a brood chamber and comb foundations?
A brood chamber is the part of a beehive where bees raise their brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae), while comb foundations are sheets of beeswax or plastic that provide a guide for bees to build their honeycomb. The brood chamber can contain brood cells, food storage cells, and queen cells, while comb foundations are used to encourage bees to build straight and uniform combs for honey storage or brood rearing.
What type of bee builds the beehive?

How do bee eggs hatch?
Bee eggs hatch when they are fertilized and placed in a suitable environment, typically within a brood cell in the hive. The queen bee lays her eggs in these cells, and after about three days, the eggs develop into larvae. The worker bees then feed the larvae with royal jelly, pollen, and honey. After about six days, the larvae pupate, and within about 12 days, they emerge as adult bees.
How does a fully developed honey bee make its way out of the brood cell?
A fully developed honey bee, or imago, emerges from its brood cell by first softening the wax cap using its mandibles. Once the cap is removed, the bee uses its legs and body to push itself out of the cell. This process can involve wriggling and maneuvering to break free from the confines of the cell. After emerging, the new bee typically cleans itself and begins its role within the hive.
