Also the worker is 21 days. Also, after the first 3 days of larva stage, the workers are fed a mixture of glandular secretions and beebread, not just honey. Please check your sources before printing.

Jerry,

I think maybe you’re taking “baby bee” too literally here. “young bee” is no doubt more accurate, but “baby bee” is nicely alliterative and amusing.

In this article there are not any “baby bees.” If this was true a queen would lay a baby bee and not an egg. In the honey bee field, I find a lot of misinformation. The biggest misinformation is what mites feed on. Sammy Ramsey cleared this up.

There are baby bees tucked in the layers. I don’t know a lot about bees, but looking at the chart, how did this happen?

I thought it was 16 days to and adult queen and 24 days to an adult drone?

I request your permission to do so and I will give credit in the program for the work you have done.

Here in Maine, it’s about 16 days while the drones take 23 to 24 depending on the temperature.
