  2. Laying worker bee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laying_worker_bee

    A laying worker bee is a worker bee that lays unfertilized eggs, usually in the absence of a queen bee. Only drones develop from the eggs of laying worker bees (with some exceptions, see thelytoky). A beehive cannot survive with only a laying worker bee. [1]

  3. Worker bee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_bee

    Workers are nevertheless considered female for anatomical and genetic reasons. Genetically, a worker bee does not differ from a queen bee and can even become a laying worker bee, but in most species will produce only male (drone) offspring. Whether a larva becomes a worker or a queen depends on the kind of food it is given after the first three ...

  4. Worker policing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_policing

    Worker policing is found in honey bees and other hymenopterans including some species of bumblebees, ants and wasps.. Worker policing is a behavior seen in colonies of social hymenopterans (ants, bees, and wasps) whereby worker females eat or remove eggs that have been laid by other workers rather than those laid by a queen.

  5. Honey bee life cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_bee_life_cycle

    Unlike the worker bees, drones do not sting. Honey bee larvae hatch from eggs in three to four days. They are then fed by worker bees and develop through several stages in hexagonal cells made of beeswax. Cells are capped by worker bees when the larva pupates. Queens and drones are larger than workers, so require larger cells to develop.

  6. Haplodiploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplodiploidy

    Diploid males do not survive to adulthood, as the nurse worker bees will cannibalize the diploid males upon hatching. [15] While workers can lay unfertilized eggs that become their sons, haplodiploid sex-determination system increases the individual's fitness due to indirect selection. Since the worker is more related to the queen's daughters ...

  9. Honey bee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_bee

    The worker bees huddle around the queen bee at the center of the cluster, shivering to keep the center between 27 °C (81 °F) at the start of winter (during the broodless period) and 34 °C (93 °F) once the queen resumes laying. The worker bees rotate through the cluster from the outside to the inside so that no bee gets too cold.
