What's the average age of a bee? It's also interestig to know how a bee become a queen.
-Bee Type Primary Roles Lifespan
Queen Reproduction, colony regulation Up to 5 years
Worker Cleaning, foraging, guard duty, nursing 5-6 weeks
Drone Mating with virgin queens A few months
-A bee becomes a queen bee thanks to the efforts of the existing worker bees in the hive. A young larva (newly hatched baby insect) is fed special food called "royal jelly" by the worker bees. Royal jelly is richer than the food given to worker larvae, and is necessary for the larva to develop into a fertile queen bee. The larva is enclosed with a cell inside the hive, where it makes pupae and develops into a queen.
PS: my 1st post was just to inform about one aspect of Bees and not about all the aspects of bees as in that case should be a full post
