Answer 3

royal jelly

Royal jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used in the nutrition of the larvae. It is secreted from the hypopharyngeal glands in the heads of young workers and used (amongst other substances) to feed all of the larvae in the colony, including those destined to become workers. If a queen is needed, the hatchling will receive only royal jelly - and in large quantities - as its food source for the first four days of its growth, and this rapid, early feeding triggers the development of queen morphology, including the fully developed ovaries needed to lay eggs. Some commercial royal jelly suppliers disseminate misinformation such as "Only queen larvae and adult queens are fed royal jelly"; the fact remains that all larvae in a colony are fed royal jelly, and adult bees do not consume it at all

Answer 4

without copying and pasting stuff ill tell you...

Royal Jelly!

This is what a worker bee (female bee) creates in her glands in her head. Usually young worker bee, but at least a week old.

Royal Jelly is called bee milk. Because this is comes from a bee and is fed to a bee.

Every bee is fed Royal Jelly! But only a Queen Larva get fed Royal Jelly through the whole time she is in the metamorphosis stage. (Except the Pupa stage where the bees cap the cell.) But the other bee types get Royal Jelly for about a week out of their 23 days, then they get fed Bee bread (pollen) and honey.

Additional Facts...

There is usually never an egg that the queen will lay that is a "queen egg". They way it is done most of the time is that the workers choose about 12 larva and/or eggs (at the most) to turn into queens. These larva/eggs would just be Female worker larva/eggs. They would choose larva that haven't been fed nothing but Royal Jelly, because the recipe is that the larva be fed Royal Jelly to be make a Queen.

They make so many queen cells because for one... They are in a Panic to Create a Queen!

And Two... Just in case the somethings kills them before they hatch...

and Three... If they have more then one, they will fight! And the Best one of all the Queens is the one who didn't get killed by the others. The Queens Fight for control of the hive (or at least in a human's perspective). The old Queen there that the bees were trying to replace may survive! In other words that Queen crushed the rebellion! And then the Bees Will Have to accept her, or try again and build more queen cells!

Anyways I hope this answered your Question,

Answer 5

She gets a special diet called royal jelly. Actually several females do. They fly off to form nests of their own.
