The quality of queen bees depends largely on the quantity and quality of the drones that mate with them. After a short marriage, the seminal vesicle of the queen bee must be filled with 5-7 million sperm to ensure the queen bee's need to produce fertilized eggs.

After the new queen bee is released, it can't fly out directly, and it needs to be in the growth period of three to four days. In these three to four days, it will kill all the other queen bees released from the bee colony, leaving only one powerful queen bee, and the gonads in the royal jelly will mature after eating for three or four days.

Extended data:

Although the queen bee is the only one who lays eggs in the bee colony, it is also developed from bee eggs. When the queen bee is in the egg stage, it is a milky banana-like substance, and the texture of the egg is somewhat transparent. The thicker part is the head of the bee. Most of the queen's eggs exist at the bottom of the hive and stick to the wall of the hive with their own mucus. It takes three days for the queen bee to give birth during the egg period.

After three days of incubation, the queen bee will turn into larvae, and they will eat royal jelly. The queen bee develops fastest and can enter the enclosure period after five days. The biggest difference between queen bee larvae and worker bee larvae is that worker bee larvae can only eat royal jelly for three days, while queen bee can eat it all the time.

After entering the enclosure period, the queen bee will continue to develop and grow for eight days, including the time for the queen bee to molt and the time for the queen bee to develop into a pupa. The queen bee will appear in the nest and spleen around the ninth day.

Then bite through the roof and climb out of the queen bee. At this time, a new generation of queen bee was born. After the new queen bee climbs out of the hive, she will eat some royal jelly, and then destroy other queen bee platforms to prevent another queen bee from taking its place.
