The life cycle of the honey bee is illustrated as below.
Overall, the full process of becoming a mature bee from an egg takes about 34 to 36 days. Usually, females produce 1 or 2 eggs every thre days. Once the mother lays an egg, it may need a third of a month to hatch. After the babies come out, a total of 31 days will be required to become nymph moults that are 3 times the size of a new born. Young adults appear after a little over a month. After 4 days of thier emergence, they will become mature. Adult honey bee now can make eggs for another generation.
Each stages of life of a honey bee lasts around 7 days on average. The shortest form could be considered as the duration require for maturity. The time require for becoming nymph moults and hatching egg could be condiser the same.
