The life cycle of different individuals

Incubation period of eggs:

Egg slightly curved cylindrical length approaching the ATC, with a crust of white ivory web stripe, and white vertically on the bottom of the cell when his six-, and usually conjoined with Resin.

Then on the second day tends to angle the bottom of almost 45 degrees, and then becomes less flat on the bottom of the cell in preparation for the ceiling on the third day.

On the third day add to the maids with white points of food before the date of Royal a little even if the parasites are out in the nutrition and growth directly,

Eggs hatch and embraced by the maids about 3 days by either fertile (produced by the queens or worker) or non-enriched (producing males).

Determine the type of female

Determine the type of female is what will be the larva of the resulting fertilized egg will it be or will become the Queen of works?

Haiydak noted that the larvae of the female offers her a large amount of food ( Royal ) in the first three days so it eat what it want, whether in homes or property in the cells of the six narrow ,

Then begin to differentiate between the larvae in each of them after the third day, while larvae of the queen gives ample quantities of food provides the royal bee bread in small quantities give from time to time to the larvae of worker bees, causing more than larvae in the queen and a clear growth advantage.

Moreover, to keep with the Royal House larva of a large quantity of food after the Royal House to end the monarchy would continue in the nutrition and growth for some time before, but can not be kept a quantity of dry food at the bottom of the Royal House Royal, while the workers larva not find anything to eat after the closure of six-cell part of the lost weight and can not be so.

It seems that to determine the type of works or the Queen does not depend only on the quantity of food provided to larvae of the Royal, but also depends on the type and content of food materials, especially in the first three days.
