Although worker bees and queen bees are all females, the queen bee releases a pheromone which causes the worker bees to be infertile. This is because the queen bee is the only one who can lay eggs in the colony. She wants to keep the workers under her control.
Within a bee colony only the queen will lay eggs. The worker bees are all female but do not lay eggs. The male bees are called drones.
Yes, female bumble bees do lay eggs. The queen bee lays eggs that hatch into worker bees, drones, and future queen bees. The eggs are laid in cells within the bee colony.
The lay eggs which hatch in21 days.
Worker bees are responsible for caring for the eggs laid by the queen bee. The queen bee can lay up to 1,500 eggs in a single day during peak season. Worker bees feed and care for the larvae as they develop, eventually sealing the cell with wax once the pupae are fully grown.
Only the Queen bee lays eggs. Most of them are for worker bees but occasionally they will be drones or a new Queen.
A female wasp lay eggs and also they are worker bees which they are called queens.
Within a bee colony only the queen will lay eggs. The worker bees are all female but do not lay eggs. The male bees are called drones.
A female wasp lay eggs and also they are worker bees which they are called queens.
The queen bee is the only fertile female in a colony and her sole purpose is to lay eggs. A workers job is to work and therefore there is no necessity for a worker to be fertile.
Yes, female bumble bees do lay eggs. The queen bee lays eggs that hatch into worker bees, drones, and future queen bees. The eggs are laid in cells within the bee colony.
Yes, however, the stinger is actually a modified ovipositor. An ovipositor is the body part, or device a queen bee uses to lay eggs. She can also use it as a stinger. Worker bees can also sting, meaning worker bees are also female. Their stinger is an ovipositor. Most worker bees never lay eggs, but occasionally a worker can become a "laying worker." In most cases she has not been fertilized, and non-fertilized eggs become drones. Drones are male bees and, being male, they have no ovipositor and cannot sting.
Yes, bumblebees do lay eggs. The queen bumblebee is responsible for laying eggs in the nest, typically in spring after emerging from hibernation. She lays fertilized eggs that develop into female worker bees and unfertilized eggs that become male drones. The worker bees take over foraging and caring for the next generation as the colony grows.
No. Bees live in hives. They lay their eggs in the hive.
bees Lay THERE EGGS IN A NEST THEY BUILD A NEST AS A SWARM.
WHY DONT YOU GO TO WALMART AND ASk the worker!
If by "which bees" you mean which sub-species or type of bee then the answer is: all of them. Honey bees, bumble bees, miner bees - the lot. If however you mean the sex or caste of bee then the simple answer is that it is the queen bee - which is a female - who lays eggs. But there is a more complex answer that is more accurate. If we think about honey bees then the worker bees - who are also female - are physically able to lay eggs too. However, their eggs can only hatch into male bees (drones) and their inclination to lay is usually hormonally suppressed when a fertile queen is present.
