What is the lifecycle of a queen bee?
The lifecycle of a queen bee begins with her emergence from the queen cell, includes mating flights, and can last several years as she maintains regular egg-laying. Her reproductive capacity gradually declines over time, potentially leading to natural replacement by the colony.
