The provided diagram illustrates the honey bee’s life cycle, which lasts from 34 to 36 days.
The cycle begins with the reproduction of two mature honey bees every three days, when the female bee lays between 1 and 2 eggs each reproductive day. Then, after 9 or 10 days the eggs are hatched. Next, the appearance of the nymph will suffer different changes in three stages. Its presents size variation when it reaches the age of 5, 7 and 9 days of life. This is the period where the nymph moults up to 3 times as it grows. In the next stage, young adults emerge and it takes them only 4 days to reach maturity in order for the life cycle to be repeated at a stage of laying eggs every three days.
Life of a honey bee is kind of short to human perception but it lasts the average number of days expected in a bug.
