The Queen Bee buzzed around Dayton searching for somewhere to
relocate. She found it! She looked for No Trespassing signs - there
were none. She hunted for RR tracks - there were none. Hopefully
she'll be able to stay at this new location a little longer than
the last!
DO NOT PARK ON THE ROAD. There is a pull-off very close to the
cache.
The Queen Bee is the most important bee in the colony. She has a
larger body. Her main job is to lay the eggs from which all the
other bees of the hive develop.
The queens are developed from larvae selected by worker bees and
fed royal jelly, a secretion from glands on the heads of young
workers, in order to become sexually mature. There is normally only
one adult, mated queen in a hive.
Although the name might imply it, a queen bee has no control over
the hive. Her sole function is to serve as the reproducer; she is
an "egg laying machine." A good queen can lay about 2,000 eggs per
day during the spring build-up. The queen lives for two or more
years. She lays her own weight in eggs every couple of hours and is
continuously surrounded by young worker attendants. They meet her
every need, feed her and dispose of her waste.
