Being a queen is about more than royal jelly:
Mao, Wenfu, Mary A. Schuler, and May R. Berenbaum. "A dietary phytochemical alters caste-associated gene expression in honey bees."Science advances 1.7 (2015): e1500795
Multiple phenotypes coming from the same genetics (like workers and queens) is called “polyphenism”

But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

  • It may sound I little bit childlish but every time I see honey it comes to my mind how incredible nature is. People just put it into the plate but I always watch the bottle for a second and think of how much work was put into that honey it´s almost a miracle and we just take it for granted (like everything else) Bees are such amazing creatures.

Egg-laying bees are egg-laying bees, not such thing as a ‘Queen’ which is a big term reflecting superiority that only reflects me, and we superior beings (me & my pure protectors aka the alphas) would never ferce any unconsenting souls into a pointIs morteI worId, and bees are just programmed to do that wrong thing, as every other animaI, by the one that made this harribIe wrong worId!

  • As I wrote a few months back on a SciShow Video: You forgot to mention my favorite fact about bees! Every female bee can potentially lay eggs. Sometimes they even do so, that's a high offense against the entire colony. Their eggs will be killed off if found so they are mostly trying to hide them. There are special bees however that check on all the larvae and if one of them does not contain a certain type of pheromone that makes her smell like the other larvae this one is immediately killed and then there is almost and entire investigation process to find the worker who laid the egg. If this worker is found she is stung dead and removed from the hive to make sure the hive is not ruled by anarchy. God you gotta love those bees.

  • This was very interesting. My dad is a beekeeper so I should show him this. He told me once that the queen has I believe it was 24-48 to mate with a drone. If this fails, she can become sterile. This is why weeks and weeks of rain can really hurt the chance of a new hive forming because it affects the potential queen's mating dance. Also bees need a variety of flowers. Almond flowers are not good for bees since they can't make a lot of honey from them. They can get food, but once the flowers are gone, the bees starve. However, since there is so much money to make in almonds, many beekeepers sacrifice a few hives for the money. Even though they know the hives will probably die since almond flowers provide very little good nutrition for bees. But I say this only from what I heard from beekeepers, I am not one myself.

    • Queen bees go on what is called a "mating flight".... basically they get it on mid flight with other males to store their sperm (and the guys die on the act).... so if there is a lot of rain, then there is no "mating flight" done..

    • You'd think they'd realize that the bees have higher pollenation rates for the trees if they have other types of pollen, from lower plants, like allyssum, marigolds & bushes. If they're doing this, they are causing an balance that is resulting in lower pollination rates of their almond trees. The hive will be healthier, stronger, and have higher pollenation rates, as well as larger reproduction rates, if they provide some variety. They could even plant sage on the edges of the orchards, toss in some allyssum, a few citrus tress & production, other factors being the same, will increase. The USDA has info about this, so does the Farmer's Almanac. This has been known for many, many years, was tested, as some thought ut was just an "old wives tale"... Well, it was an old wive's tale, yet like many of those, it just so happens to be true.

And then they choose several daughters in each generation to be forcibly mutated and then fight to the death and if the hive likes her enough she gets to be a baby factory for the rest of her short, pathetic life.
