1. From the time the queen bee lays an egg to when that egg has fully matured into an adult bee is only 21 days.
2. 13 days after the queen bee has lay an egg, that egg begins pupation. During pupation the bee does not eat at all, and develops from a larva into an adult bee.
3. All bee larva are fed royal jelly. If the larva is fed extra jelly, it will have enough nutrients to develop ovaries. That larva will eventually develop into a queen bee.
Are all larvae, excluding the ones who will become queen bees, fed the same amount of royal jelly?
