How a Bee Becomes Queen

The video explains the roles of different bees in a hive, focusing on worker bees, drones, and the queen. It highlights the importance of royal jelly in the development of queen bees and discusses the selection process for new queens. The video also explores genetic factors that may influence queen selection and reviews scientific studies on royal jelly's effects. Despite its marketing as a dietary supplement, royal jelly's benefits for humans remain unproven.

• To mate with the queen

• To collect pollen and nectar

• To clean and build the hive

What is the main component of royal jelly that contributes to its high protein content?

• Minerals

• Sugars

• Digested pollen

• Vitamins

How do worker bees decide which larvae will become queens?

• By random selection

• Based on genetic differences

• By feeding them honey

• Through a voting process

What happens if multiple queen bees emerge simultaneously?

• They share the hive

• They fight to the death

• They are all accepted as queens

• They leave the hive

Which protein in royal jelly is believed to transform larvae into queens?
