Want to know more about the queen bee? Read below

Another common question I get is, How do you know which bee is the queen? And how is the queen chosen? In reality, queens are not chosen. They are born. 👑🐝

It begins when the worker bees in the hive select a tiny larvae (less than a day old!) and begin feeding that larvae a special diet of royal jelly. By feeding it this special food, the larvae develops into a queen rather than a regular worker bee.

As this photo shows, the queen bee clearly looks different from all the other bees in the hive. She has a shiny thorax and a long abdomen so that she can lay the thousands of eggs needed to keep her colony going.
