Overall, there are two main stages and 6 steps, beginning from bees’ mating till their posterity will be also enough old to continue the family.
The first stage begins when queen bee lays from 1 to 2 eggs bi-weekly. Following this, immature bees hatch 9 to 10 days. After this step, the surface of larvae is being crushed by baby bees, so they will be able to go out.
The following stage consists other three steps. It starts from their seventh day, when they begin to paint themselves. There are another two moults. First is after seven days from their first moult, when they become much bigger. Then it takes nine days before they get their final appearance, with that many black lines on their back. Growing until the step, when they are able to produce their own offspiring, continues four days, after which cycle starts over again.
