The queen bee is not the leader of the hive and she doesn’t rule over the other bees. It’s the female worker

who make the decisions…and they do so collectively as a group!
Easter bee eggs! Here’s something you’ve never seen before unless you’ve been inside of a beehive... bee eggs! Those things that look like tiny grains of rice in the honeycomb cells are actually little bee eggs. A strong queen bee can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day!

! This is a photo of me as a kid playing dress up as Jane. I soon moved on from observing stuffed animals to bugs, & I wouldn’t be where I am today without having Jane to look up to. Thank you for being my childhood & lifelong hero

North America’s monarch butterfly has been classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the world’s most comprehensive scientific authority on the status of species. The decision follows decades of falling populations.
The bees and I were on

Yes, I happened to have a queen on me that day. It's busy bee season, I did this removal in the morning, and I had a full day of beework ahead of me. That queen was going to be used later on to split a healthy colony in order to start another.

I had her shipped to me in the mail and was taking her and another queen to colonies that I was going to split later that day. If you take bees and resources from one hive, and give them a new queen, you can create another bee colony.
