A virgin queen bees goes on a mating flight when she will mate with around a dozen drones (male bees). This is the only time in her life when she will do this. When she lays an egg, it will already be fertilized from semen stored within her body.
Honey bees queens lay eggs, they do not bear live young so can't be said to be pregnant.
The only thing a queen bee does is lay eggs. She does no other work in the hive. She doesn't even feed herself, she is fed and cleaned by worker bees.
At the height of the breeding season she can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day.A honey bee queen can lay up to 1000 eggs per day.
Fertilized eggs are eggs that have been fertilized by sperm, while embryonated eggs are fertilized eggs that have developed into embryos. In embryonated eggs, the embryo has started to grow and develop, while fertilized eggs are simply eggs that have been successfully fertilized.

The unfertilized eggs of the queen bee hatch into male bees, or drones. Worker bees, or females, and female queen bees hatch from fertilized eggs.
The unfertilized eggs of the queen bee hatch into male bees, or drones. Worker bees, or females, and female queen bees hatch from fertilized eggs.
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.

honey bees don't get pregnant. They lay eggs, some fertilized and some unfertilized. She only mates for a few days about 10 days after she is born. She will mate with 10 10 15 drones (male bees) then never again for the rest of her life. She lives about 3 years.
A honey bee queen can lay between 1000 and 2000 eggs per day.
Male bees (drones) come from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. Fertilized eggs produce females (workers or new queens).
A queen honey bee can lay between 1000 and 2000 eggs per day.
Bees don't reproduce asexually. The queen is the only reproductive female in the colony. She is mated by one or more males throughout her life span, and thus lays fertilized eggs which turn into drones.
