The queen lays an egg at the base of a honeycomb cell and after three days the egg hatches into a larva. The larva is fed by the worker bees and the larva grows to many times its original size during which time it sheds its skin four times. After this the worker bees cap the larval cell with a mixture of wax and pollen. The pupa sheds its skin one more time then spins a cocoon around itself inside the cell and it pupates. At the end of pupation the adult bee eats its way through the cell capping and emerges
Because the entire pupation takes place in a sealed wax cell, under normal circumstances we never see the cocoon.

Research has shown that the highest production figures come from a bee that is a cross between the European honey bee (apis mellifera mellifera) and the African honey bee (apis mellifera scutella). However that cross produces what has become known as the 'killer' bee, because they are less docile and more likely to sting. On balance, this disadvantage outweighs any production advantage so beekeepers tend to use the pure European honey bee.
Bee honey 1 liter is equal to approximately 1.44 kg. However; in fractions 1 liter of bee honey is approximately 1 11/25 kg.
NO! Honey is made from nectar which is collected from flowers. It has been stored in a special nectar stomach, then regurgitated back at the hive. It has not passed through the bee's gut.
The average speed of a honey bee is around 15 miles per hour when flying. Honey bees can fly at varying speeds depending on factors such as weather conditions and the purpose of their flight.
the honey bee
The honey bee queen lays eggs in the comb cells, and these hatch into larvae which stay in the cell until after they pupate. After pupation an adult bee emerges from the cell.

The Africanized honey bee. Euorpean honey bees were breed with African honey bees, creating a hybrid bee known as the Africanized honey bee, or killer bee.
I hope that that bee is not an Africanized honey bee.
Honey bee IS the common name of the honey bee. The scientific name of the western honey bee is Apis Mellifera.
