How does egg of worker bee evolve to queen bee in a bee hive?

The queen doesn't actually 'evolve' from a worker bee. Bees start out their lives as tiny litle white grubs called larvae. They look and act a like a maggot. After they have eaten enough they pupate, much like a catterpillar turning into a butterfly, and they emerge as adult bees with wings and legs.\n\nQueens and worker bees are both female. All female larvae, whether worker or drone hatch out of the egg identical in every respect. At first all larvae are fed a special highly nutirtious food called 'royal jelly' that is produced by the worker bees. After a few days the diet is changed over to a much less nutritious food that is basically just honey.\n\n\nWhen the hive needs a new queen, the workers select a larva at random and its diet doesn't change. It is fed on nothing but royal jelly until it is ready to pupate into an adult bee. That highly nutririous diet causes it to pupate into a quuen rather than a worker, and it emerges as a fully formed queen bee.\n\nNote that at no stage was the new queen a worker bee. Although you could say she existed as a worker larva for a few days. But worker bees don't evolve into queen bees.\n\n_____________________\n\nRepublican said: "A queen bee egg is specially made when a >>>>>>>>>> male be, a drone, fertilizes it."\n\nYou know you really couldn't be more wrong even if you tried. \n\nOnly male bees (drones) are the result of mating and fertilised eggs. Both workers and queens are the reuslt of unfertilised eggs.\n\nThere is no embryological or genetic difference between a queen egg and a worker egg. After hatching all female larvae, whether worker or drone hatch out of the egg identical in every respect.

Nope, not all types of bees make honey! The eastern carpenter bee, alfalfa leafcutter bee, orchard mason bee, and the hornfaced bee are solitary bees, which means they don't live in hives with thousands of other bees. Each solitary bee is fertile, unlike the bees in hives in which only the queen bee and produce more bees. These types of bees don't produce honey or beeswax.\n\nHope this helps! I'm glad you're curious about these types of things.

If you look at the upper surface of the abdomen of a carpenter bee, you will see that it is hairless, black and shiny, while a bumble bee will hairy or at least have some yellow markings.\n\nBumble bees usually nest in the ground while carpenter bees tunnel into wood to make their nests.  Carpenter bees prefer bare, unpainted or weathered softwoods, especially redwood, cedar, cypress or pine.\n\nAfter mating in the spring, the female will lay their eggs in a series of small cells, each egg wrapped in a leaf with a ball of pollen for food.  The tunnels in the wood are perfectly round and about the diameter of your finger.\n\nOver the years, they can do considerable damage to wooden structures.\n\nKeeping wood painted and well maintained is probably the best way to keep carpenter bees at bay.\n\nFemale carpenter bees are not terribly aggressive, and will only sting if extremely provoked.  Male carpenter bees can be quite aggressive, flying into people's faces and even hovering directly in front of them, but fortunately they are completely harmless and have no stinger.

In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote. \n\nChickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken. \n\nPrior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.\n\nVirginia Kelly\n\nTo be ...

The egg.  Chickens and in fact, all birds, evolved from dinosaurs - which laid eggs.

From the behavior of bees. When a bee finds nectar it returns to the hive and displays to the other bees the direction of the find. The other bees then 'make a beeline' for it.

Becoming a father is not so easy. first a bee stings the father, then the bee stings the mother then they can have a baby.\nSo first you need to find the mother and then the bee. Not an easy task!

Bees and wasps can become drunk off of fermenting flower nectar and even more so from fallen fruit that is turning to alcohol, but those are usually just temporary conditions.\n\nAs wasp nests have been growing all summer, there are more and more workers and foragers available.  The wasps that used to be the main foragers for the hive get demoted to guard duty.  These wasps are old, and beginning to fall apart.  They tend to be very cranky, and have little to lose, and so are much more aggressive and territorial than the guards were earlier in the season.  With the back-up of a larger hive, it makes an encounter with a wasp nest much more dangerous late in the season.\n\nSo it's not so much that they know they're going to die, just that they're old, cranky, starting to fall apart, and pissed off cuz they've been demoted.  If they also happen to get drunk off fruit or rotten flowers, they might be mean drunks too.

with seeds. \nthey have flowers and then the little bees come...

They are all descendants of solitary wasps (as far as we know). Wasps evolved earlier than bees or ants. Though it more accurate to think of them being closer in morphology to the evolutionary ancestor of the 3 insects rather than being "older". After all some species of wasps may be more recently evolved than some species of ants - it is just that wasps in general evolved earlier.

Start with two similar orchids.  One has a slightly different color that makes it occasionally attracts a male wasp.  That flower has a slight advantage that it gets a little extra pollenation.  As a result, it outpropegates it's kin a little each generation until that color is predominant.  Of course, over that time, there are other varations in scent, shape and so on.  Any variations that increase the odds of a wasp visiting gain further advantage.  The advantages accrue over time, and the orchid may become so specialized that it becomes dependent on one species of wasp.  Should the wasp become extinct, so does that variety of orchid.  Should the wasp evolve into different species, the orchids may evolve into different species as their respective wasps become increasingly different.  In fact, only one species of orchid needs to adapt to the wasps, and by divergence can become many species.

When bees communicate to each other, they communicate the position of nearby flowers.  The directions are relative to the sun's position in the sky.  But the bees are able to communicate this, taking into account that the sun's position has changed in the time it took them to fly back to the hive!\n\nThat still blows me away.  There's so much we have to learn about the animal world.

During the course of one queen bee it lays thousands of eggs during its life time which may spread around two years or so.During flower season when more nectar and pollen can be collected from flowers the queen becomes more active and lays more eggs. So during that season the colony becomes really big and the worker bees decide to split and they make queen cells by combining three cells into one and a four five queen cells may be formed and they feed them with royal gelly food. Just before the first new queen bee comes out of the cell the queen be which is already there may fly along with thousands of workers to another location and to build a new hive.Like this one or two more SWARMS may go and thereafter they may not\nallow more queens to come out and sometimes two queens may fight and one gets killed and other queen celss are destroyed.\nVery rarely when a queen bee is so old and is past egg laying capacity, it may be allowed to live in the same hive but the active young queen bee is the head and lays eggs etc.

the egg, because before hens existed there were proto-hens that laid eggs as well. One day one of those proto-hens evolved and the first hen was born.

queens  seldome sting  once  theyre  established.....if a hivegenerates a new queen  and the hive starts to split....the active queen  will sting the new arrivival  .to get rid  of  her.....queen bee's  in a funny  way  set  the  revelations of  science  in  gear.....the  european  system  for  centuries   regarded the  queen  as  a  king....had to  be  a  king..look at all the  servants..matched  in  verbalization..the  attitude prevelent at the time...when it was proven  the kings  were  queens it  was a  heavy  blow to  male  intellectuals.\nbees sting  because  they  got  the  equipement  for  it....and its usually  only  a  threatning  cituation.....some  hives  seldome  sting...some are  veryhostile......a virgin  queens eggs  can produce  drones  and or  workers...once  shes  mated  she can produce a  hardy  worker stronger type   drones  and  eggs that  can be developed  to  queen cells
