Expert Answer
The maintainence of honey bees or bee keeping is referred to as 'apiculture'.
A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect honey and beeswax, to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary.
A colony of bees consists of three castes of bee:
- a Queen bee, which is normally the only breeding female in the colony;
- a large number of female worker bees, typically 30,000–50,000 in number;
- a number of male drones, ranging from thousands in a strong hive in spring to very few during cold season.
Differing stages of development
| Stage of development | Queen | Worker | Drone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egg | 3 days | 3 days | 3 days |
| Larva | 8 days | 10 days | 13 days |
| Pupa | 4 days | 8 days | 8 days |
| Total | 15 days | 21 days | 24 days |
