Bee Life Cycle and Development

The video explores the fascinating life cycle of bees, starting from eggs laid by the queen. After three days, eggs hatch into larvae, which are fed by worker bees. The larval stage is marked by significant growth. Once mature, larvae are sealed in wax and enter the pupal stage, where they develop into adult bees. After 7 to 14 days, the adult bee emerges, ready to begin its life.

What is the initial stage of the bee life cycle?

• Adult Bee

• Larva

• Egg

• Pupa

How do worker bees contribute to the growth of larvae?

• By laying eggs

• By providing food

• By cleaning the hive

• By protecting the queen

Approximately how many times larger can a larva grow compared to its original size?

• 100 times

• 500 times

• 2000 times

• 1500 times

What happens to the larva after it is big enough?

• It is covered in wax

• It becomes an adult bee

• It lays eggs

• It starts flying

During which stage does the bee start to resemble an adult?

• Adult stage

• Pupal stage

• Larval stage

• Egg stage

What are some of the features that develop during the pupal stage?

• Honey and pollen

• Eggs and larvae

• Hive and wax

• Wings and body hair

How does the adult bee emerge from the cell?

• It chews its way out

• It is pushed out by worker bees

• It flies out immediately

• It is carried out by the queen
