A playful exploration of honeybees describes their roles and history. It notes honeybees pollinate plants and that early settlers brought bees from England. The piece imagines being a bee in a colony of up to fifty thousand members.
The queen bee relies on worker bees for food and care. She originates from the same egg as a worker but is fed royal jelly. She can lay up to about 1,800 eggs daily. She overwinters with workers around her and may live up to three years. Her stinger is used mainly to defend against rival queens.
The drone bee is male and mates with the queen from another colony. A queen mates with several drones once to lay eggs for life. Drones are outnumbered by workers, lack a stinger, and rely on workers for food. They live about four weeks in summer, and in fall workers stop feeding them, forcing them from the hive.
This excerpt outlines a bee’s growth stages from 1 day to 6 weeks, detailing duties by age such as cell cleaning, larva feeding, wax production, guarding, and pollen nectar collection. It explains wax secretion from the abdomen, pollen baskets on hind legs, nectar transport, and potential field death.
