Where Do Queen Bees Come From?

- As farmers of sweet nectar, sophisticated architects, and members of a unique hierarchy alongside ants, the honeybee is an iconic insect!
And at the pinnacle of honeybee colonies is the queen, who devotes her whole life to egg-laying and reproducing.
On average, queen bees lay one or two eggs per minute, 1,000 to 2,000 per day, and a whopping two million eggs over a lifetime.
Meanwhile, it's up to the worker bees to find food, build and clean the hive, and guard their home.
But here's a fun fact for you, queen bees aren't born: they’re made.
Worker bees and queen bees are both female, born as equally-sized larvae from equally-sized eggs, and aside from their physical appearance, are genetically indistinguishable-like identical twin sisters.
So how on earth is a queen bee created, then?

I woke up and this stupid question popped up in my head I wasn't expecting answer but here it is and someone did amazing video explaining everything I wanted to know thank you so much
Great stuff on your channel. Just discovered.
You didn’t answer my question; are bees born inside the tree or from a percific plant?
Are bees born from the temperatures of heat or lots of rain 🌧 or mixtures of stem coming up from the ground???…
Why so small view
