Queen Bee Overview

A Queen Bee is the female reproductive leader of a honeybee colony. She is responsible for laying eggs and maintaining the colony’s population. In a typical colony, there is only one queen bee, although there may be several virgin queens present.

The queen bee is distinguishable from the other bees in the colony by her larger size and longer abdomen. She is also the only bee that can lay fertilized eggs, which develop into female worker bees or drones (male bees).

The queen bee is fed a special diet of a secretion called “royal jelly” during her development, which allows her to develop her full reproductive capabilities. She will then mate with several drones outside the colony during her mating flight, after which she will return to the colony and spend the rest of her life laying eggs.

Queen bees can live for several years and will continue to lay eggs throughout their lifespan. In the event that the queen bee dies or is removed from the colony, the worker bees will select a new queen from among the virgin queens present in the colony.

In beekeeping, queens can be artificially introduced to colonies by beekeepers, either to replace an old queen or to introduce new genetics. Queen bee breeding has become an industry on its own, with selective breeding to improve honey production, disease resistance, gentleness and other traits.

Overall, a Queen Bee is the reproductive leader of a honeybee colony, responsible for laying eggs and maintaining the colony’s population. She is distinguishable from the other bees in the colony by her larger size and longer abdomen and can live for several years. Queen bee breeding and introduction is an important aspect of beekeeping.
