    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenter_kit

    A Jenter kit or Karl Jenter kit is a piece of equipment used by beekeepers to raise large numbers of queen honeybees. Rival techniques for rearing queen bees generally require grafting the honeybee larvae by hand. As such, the development of this kit by Karl Jenter is a significantly useful tool to assist in beekeeping.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_bee

    Queen rearing is the process by which beekeepers raise queen bees from young fertilized worker bee larvae. The most commonly used method is known as the Doolittle method. [16] In the Doolittle method, the beekeeper grafts larvae, which are 24 hours or less of age, into a bar of queen cell cups.

  4. Cloake board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloake_board

    The queen excluder continues to retain the laying queen in the lower colony while the combined colony incubates the grafted queens. The queen cells will be removed before they hatch and transferred to mating nucs. Following the removal of the ripe queen cells the cloake board can be removed to re-establish the single united colony.

  5. Bee brood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_brood

    A few female larvae in special queen cups may be selected to become queens. Their special queen cups are flooded with royal jelly for six days. The extra royal jelly speeds up the queen larvae development. Only the queen will have fully developed ovaries, i.e. she will be sexually mature. Drone brood develops from unfertilized eggs. Drone brood ...

    Every honey bee (Apis mellifera) in a hive exists to perform specific duties determined by their sex and age. Like every member of its colony, the nurse honey bee plays a vital role in the survival of its hive. Nurse bees are charged with the care and feeding of the queen and the next generation.

  8. Brood comb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brood_comb

    The brood comb is the beeswax structure of cells where the queen bee lays eggs. [1] It is the part of the beehive where a new brood is raised by the colony. During the summer season, a typical queen may lay 1500-2000 eggs per day, which results in 1500-2000 bees hatching after the three-week development period.

  9. Nuptial flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuptial_flight

    From this point the queen continuously lays eggs which hatch into larvae, exclusively destined to develop into worker ants. [5] The queen usually nurses the first brood alone. After the first workers appear, the queen's role in the colony typically becomes one of exclusive (and generally continuous) egg-laying.
