Life Cycle Stages
Honey bees undergo complete metamorphosis, which involves four developmental stages:
1. Egg
2. Larva
3. Pupa
4. Adult
Within a normal hive situation, a single queen bee lays fertilized and unfertilized eggs. Fertilized eggs can hatch worker and queen bees, unfertilized eggs hatch drone bees.

Honey bees develop in four distinct life cycle phases: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The total development time varies a bit among the three castes of bees, but the basic miraculous process is the same: 24 days for drones, 21 days for worker bees, and 16 days for queens.
Development from egg to emerging bee varies among queens, workers, and drones. Queens emerge from their cells in 15–16 days,workers in 21 days, and drones in 24 days. Only one queen is usually present in a hive.
