The queen bee function

Each colony has only one queen, and its primary function is reproduction. It is the only female in the hive that is sexually developed. It produces both fertilized and non-fertilized eggs. Queens produce more eggs in the spring and early summer. In the day during peak production, they stop laying eggs gradually in early October, and one queen can produce up to 250,000 eggs per year and over a million eggs during her lifetime. 

 The second major function of the queen is the production of pheromones. This material unites the colony socially and gives it a distinctive identity. A single major hormone is produced by the mandible glands. The colony's properties largely depend on the queen's egg laying potential and chemical production, Along with male bees that mate with them, in determining the quality, size, and temperament of the colony. 

Individuals of the bee cell

Laborers

Working bees grow in the smallest cells in the cell, where they hatch from the fertilized eggs laid by the queen. The working bees are incomplete females, do not lay the eggs under normal conditions in the cell, and the working bees hatch after 19-22 days of ovulation. And bees are able to manufacture wax, sting, or flying, and bees working in many functions within the cell such as cleaning the cells, and feed and care of immature bees, and building cell activity, and the removal of debris, and guarding the entrance, and feed bees working either on pollen or Nectar, usually live bees working from 4 to 6 weeks during Active season, for 6 months if raised in autumn.

the Queen

The queen bee is the dominant individual in the cell, which the worker bees choose to be fed with protein secretion, known as royal jelly, so that they can mature sexually, and the queen should compete with any possible queen, even those that have not yet hatched.

Male bees

Male bees are produced from non-fertilized eggs. They have large eyes, lack needles and can not defend the cell. They do not have the body parts that can collect pollen or nectar, so they do not contribute to feeding the kefir. Reproduction, and soon dies due to separation of its member with the accompanying abdominal tissue after mating.
