The queen cell timeline starts with a freshly fertilized egg and ends with the emergence of a young virgin queen. This is a process that is crucial to the renewal and development of the beehive.

In a beehive, fertilized eggs develop into female bees – either workers or queens. The unfertilized egg develops into a drone bee. Drones produce semen when mature and are regarded as male.

If A Queen and Worker Are Both Females, How Does That Work?

Swarming

If the hive gets too big. In this case, there are just so many bees that her pheromones cannot spread over all of the hive.

Succession

If the queen starts to get older and fail, her pheromonal bouquet begins to fade. In this case, it is similar to the above but can happen when the hive population is small.

Sometimes a queen dies. I have once seen a queen bee taking a midnight stroll outside the hive on the landing board and a toad came up and ate her.

3. Queen Loss and Emergency Queen Cells

ADVICE

A queen sting is quite memorable and not at all like a honeybee sting. It burns more and is more like a wasp sting. The fact that a queen can sting multiple times is also fascinating.
