MORE SECTIONS

There is only one Queen per colony.

A Queen may produce up to 1,500 eggs per day.

The eggs the Queen lays on any one given day may weigh more than she does.

A colony is made up of thousands of worker bees.

A honey-comb has six sides.

Information

The honey-bee colony consists of one queen, many thousand worker bees, and, at certain seasons, from a few to several thousand drone or male bees. It also includes a series of parallel honey combs made up of six-sided cells on both sides for the rearing of young bees (brood rearing) and for the storage of food-pollen and honey. The domicile to house these must be considered an element of the colony, since the colony would experience great difficulty in surviving without protection from the weather elements. Individual queens, workers, or drones cannot survive alone. Collectively, the bees of a colony cannot survive without combs for brood, honey, and pollen.

The queen is a large, slender individual whose sole function is to lay eggs. In this she is most remarkable, since she may produce up to 1,500 eggs per day, 250,000 per year, and, under some circumstances, more than a million during her lifetime. She lays two kinds of eggs-those that she fertilizes and places in small hexagonal cells that develop into worker bees and those that she does not fertilize, which she places only in the larger hexagonal cells that develop into drone bees. Occasionally she places fertilized eggs in round, peanut-shaped queen cells. These are temporary cells that hang down. The worker and drone cells lie in a horizontal position. Approximately 95 percent of the typical hexagonal cells of the honey comb are worker cells, 25 per square inch; the remainder are drone cells, 16 per square inch.
