  2. Nuptial flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuptial_flight

    Nuptial flight is an important phase in the reproduction of most ant, termite, and some bee species. [1] It is also observed in some fly species, such as Rhamphomyia longicauda. During the flight, virgin queens mate with males and then land to start a new colony, or, in the case of honey bees, continue the succession of an existing hived colony.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_dorsata

    Apis dorsata, the rock bee or giant honey bee, is a honey bee of South and Southeast Asia. They are typically around 17–20 mm (0.7–0.8 in) long and nests are mainly built in exposed places far off the ground, like on tree limbs, under cliff overhangs, and under buildings.

  4. 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.

  5. Bee brood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_brood

    The queen tends to lay brood in a circular or oval pattern. At the height of the brood laying season, the queen may lay so many eggs per day, that the brood on a particular frame may be virtually of the same age. As the egg hatches, worker bees add royal jelly - a secretion from glands on the heads of young bees. For three days the young larvae ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Bee_Colony...

    The scout bees are translated from a few employed bees, which abandon their food sources and search new ones. In the ABC algorithm, the first half of the swarm consists of employed bees, and the second half constitutes the onlooker bees. The number of employed bees or the onlooker bees is equal to the number of solutions in the swarm.

  9. Drone (bee) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_(bee)

    A laying worker bee exclusively produces totally unfertilized eggs, which develop into drones. As an exception to this rule, laying worker bees in some subspecies of honey bees may also produce diploid (and therefore female) fertile offspring in a process called thelytoky , in which the second set of chromosomes comes not from sperm, but from ...
