Egg: around the same size as a grain of rice

The eggs are laid in each cell of the honeycomb. The eggs are typically laid from October to December. This stage lasts about 3 days

Stage 2: Larva

The larva stage is for the honeybees to eat as much food and grow for the next stage.

They shed their skin 5 times before moving on to the next stage. This Stage lasts about 7 to 10 days.

Stage 3: Pupa

The larva spins into a cocoon and turns into a pupa. During this state, they are developing their winds, legs, and eyes. This stage lasts around 7 to 10 days as well.

Stage 4: Adult

Once the honeybee has gone through the egg, larva, and pupa stage the honeybee chews its way out. It is fully functioning and leads to the rules and tasks the queen gives.
