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.
A queen bee is larger than worker bees and has a longer abdomen. She also has a more elongated and rounded shape compared to worker bees. Queen bees are usually the only ones in the hive that have fully developed ovaries for egg-laying.
A female bee (queen or worker) has sixteen pairs of chromosomes, 32 in all. A male bee (drone) comes from an unfertilized egg, so only has sixteen chromosomes.
15 days
A bee's egg hatches into a larva. This evenually turns into a pupa, from which an adult bee will emerge.
It takes approximately three weeks for a queen bee's egg to develop into a worker bee and 24 days to become a drone bee. The difference in development time is due to the different nutritional requirements and environmental conditions needed for each type of bee to mature.
Drone bees are produced from unfertilized eggs laid by the queen bee. In bee biology, when a queen lays an egg in a regular hexagonal cell, it can develop into a worker bee or a drone depending on the type of egg and the conditions in the hive. If the egg is fertilized, it becomes a worker bee, while an unfertilized egg develops into a drone bee. Thus, only unfertilized eggs will become drones.
If an egg that is laid is fertilized, it will become a female worker bee. If it was not fertilized, it will become a drone (male).

Worker
One to four (1-4) months is how long a worker bee can live.Specifically, the insect in question (Apis spp) is a non-queen female bee. The worker bee lives 3 days as an egg, 6 as a larva, and 12 as a pupa. Adulthood may add another 3 months to the 21-day lifespan mentioned thus far.
A queen bee is larger than worker bees and has a longer abdomen. She also has a more elongated and rounded shape compared to worker bees. Queen bees are usually the only ones in the hive that have fully developed ovaries for egg-laying.
The queen bee is responsible for laying eggs. Worker bees feed the young bees and look after them until they are able to take their place in the hive.
A female bee (queen or worker) has sixteen pairs of chromosomes, 32 in all. A male bee (drone) comes from an unfertilized egg, so only has sixteen chromosomes.
It all depends on whether the queen fertilizes the egg or not. Fertilized eggs will develop into females (workers or another queen), and unfertilized eggs will develop into males (drones). This decision is made by the queen depending on the size of the cell into which she lays the egg. Drone cells are slightly larger than worker cells.
