The queen bee
The queen can live up to five years. She is busiest in the summer months, when she can lay up to 2,500 eggs a day! Catalonia |
Each colony can be ruled by only one queen at a time. When a virgin queen emerges, she locates other virgin queens and eliminates them one at a time. In the event that two virgin honey bee queens emerge simultaneously, they fight each other to the death.
