The Queen bee, (which by the way, is head of the hive, not the king), is fed "royal jelly", which is a creamy substance made in glands on the worker bee's heads.
The queen bee is fed nectar by the attendant bees.Royal jelly is fed to all larvae for the first three days after hatching from the egg. Worker and drone larvae are then weaned on to a mixture of royal jelly, pollen and honey. Queen larvae are fed exclusively on royal jelly right up to the point the cells are capped and they pupate.
Yes, sand wasps have the ability to sting if they feel threatened. They are solitary wasps and typically only sting when defending their nests or if they are handled roughly.

The most common of these include: * Fig wasps - agaonidae * Cuckoo wasps - Chrysididae * Sand wasps (Cicada killer wasp) - Crabronidae * Gall wasps - Cynipidae * Velvet ants - (mutillidae * Fairyflies - Mymaridae * Spider wasps - Pompilidae * Digger wasps - Sphecidae * Flower wasps - Tiphiidae * Honets - Vaspidae * Paper wasps * Pollen wasps * Yellowjackets
Wasps don't usually bite, they sting. Wasp is some cases can bite and sting at the same time.
Unless you are allergic to it, no.
Wasps do not intentionally sting themselves. When a wasp stings, it releases a chemical that can attract other wasps, which is why they are cautious about stinging. However, in some cases, a wasp may end up accidentally stinging itself while trying to sting something else.
Yes, queen wasps can sting. The sting of a queen wasp is typically more painful and potent than that of worker wasps.

Baby wasps are grubs. When they eventually change into adult wasps, that is when they can sting.
Yes, sand wasps have the ability to sting if they feel threatened. They are solitary wasps and typically only sting when defending their nests or if they are handled roughly.
Wasps and Bee's are insects that sting.
Unlike bees, wasps have a smooth sting and can easily withdraw it after stinging. They can also sting more than once.
no
They can do, although they will only do that if they can't escape.
No. This is only true of honeybees. Wasps do not lose their stingers and can sting multiple times.
The stingers of bees and wasps are evolved from the queen's ovipositor, the part of her body that lays eggs. All workers (and the only ones that can sting) are female.
