A life cycle of a honey bee By Truly

A honey bee is an insect. It has four stages in its life and it only lives for five weeks. When the queen bee lays her eggs the worker bee feeds it when it is full growth the worker seals the wax cell. The queen is  the only bee that lays eggs.


To begin with the queen bee lays her eggs in the wax cell. Soon after the worker bee feeds the larva. Therefore the larva grows to full size. This means that it will go though a metamorphosis.


In the next stage the worker bee seals the wax cell , as a result the larva makes a cocoon.The larva turns into a pupa, the pupa stays a little while in the wax cell then on the next day the pupa is ready to break out of the wax cell.

Not long after the pupa turns into an adult bee. The bee will mate with the queen bee. The worker bee does alot of work so in the end the bee only lives for five weeks. That means the cycle will start all over again.

The life cycle of a bee is quick compared to a human. Honey bees make honey collecting pollen and nectar.
