Question

In which time does the nuptail flight occur in the life cycle of honey bee

Answer 1

Explanation:

Virgin queen bees take what is known as a "nuptial flight" sometime within the first week or two after emerging from the pupal chamber.

Answer 2

Answer:

Various triggers will encourage worker bees to feed a few larvae with a substance they produce commonly called royal jelly. This stimulates the larvae to grow into potential queens. When these queens are mature enough (i.e.. in the adult stage) they will fly from the nest/hive along with a number of suitors (males) and mate in the air (which is the evolutionary original mode of copulation in insects)(a relatively safe way of copulating). The inseminated potential queen returns to her nest and then confronts the existing queen. Battle may ensue, but the usual outcome is that the old queen leaves with a swarm of workers to set up a new nest somewhere else.
