Read the paragraph and answer the questions :
The queen bee is nearly 2.5 times longer and 2.8 times heavier than aworker bee. Her function is reproduction. She lays 1000 to 2000 fertilized eggsevery day. Some of the eggs will develop into worker bees or into queens. But this depends on the size of the wax cell in which eggs are laid and on the type of food given to the larva.The queen also lays unfertilized eggs from which only drones develop. The bees cannot live long without a queen. So when thequeen dies, the bees choose some three-day-old eggs and hatch them. From that pearl-like egg a larva comes out. It is taken to a big wax cell and fed with royal jelly. Therefore it develops into a queen.
