Document Summary
Development time of the queen, worker, and drone honey bee: Differentiation of queen and worker: both the two female caste members queen and worker begin as fertilized eggs. In the pupal stage they change from larva to adult form within the capped beeswax cell the differentiation of the two castes occurs during the few days of larval development; it is a biochemical process not completely understood. 24: all bee larvae receive royal jelly after the egg hatches royal jelly is a protein-rich food made in the glands of worker bees and places in cells just before the egg hatches. Honey bees do not have cemeteries; workers just fly off with the dead bodies. Chapter 5: honey bee anatomy page #61-74: Week 2 outer chamber ending in the spoon-shaped flabellum; the labium has paired segmented palpi that resemble antennae but only have 3 small segments.
