About Bees
Queen Bee
The Queen is the only bee in the colony that lays eggs, maintaining the bee population in the hive. In short, she is the mother of all. She communicates using pheromones to support the function and health of the colony by instructing the worker bees to perform critical and necessary tasks. Therefore, the key to a strong colony is to have a good Queen.
Drone Bee
The Drones are male bees hatched from unfertilized eggs. Drones comprise 15% of the colony and are an essential part of the bee community. While they do not perform daily tasks, their sole purpose is to mate with virgin queens to advance the next generation of honeybees. Drones mate in the air with virgin queens from other colonies to prevent inbreeding and do not breed with their sisters.
Worker Bee
The Worker bees are female and perform all tasks in the colony except egg laying, which belongs to the Queen. The average lifespan of a worker bee is 45 days, and during this time, she will perform each task to advance the colony. Therefore, a substantial colony must have a large number of worker bees in the hive.
