A queen bee is designated from the time it is a larvae to develop into the queen bee. Part of a worker bees role is to feed the queen bee special food and protect it so the larvae can become the queen bee. The queen bee eats "royal jelly" when a larvae to help it mature into a queen bee. This food is secreted from worker bees' heads. A queen bee stays in its honeycomb cell for just over a week to mature into a queen bee. It then mates with 12-15 drone, or male bees, and then can lay eggs. The queen bee lays up to 20,000 eggs a day, and a queen bee's main and only role in it's two-year-long life is to lay eggs all day long. A hive cannot survive without a queen bee. A queen bee can also refer to the head of a clique among girls in social situations. |
