Watch How A Honey Bee Queen Lays Her Eggs
https://beeaugustine.com/ Honey Bee Queens have one very important job in the colony - they make honey bees and lots of them! A simple hive inspection can give you a good indication of how well a queen is performing. Capped brood, larvae, and eggs are all good signs that your queen is doing her job and that the colony is thriving. She can lay up to 1,500 eggs per day at times and the way that she does it is truly amazing. The honey bee queen places her head and front legs into the cells to measure the width of the cells, which will eventually determine the sex of the eggs that she lays. The queen lays fertilized (female) eggs in the smaller cells, and unfertilized (male) eggs in the larger cells.
