the diagram illustrates the multiple life stages of the honey bee,which takes from 34 to 36 days to reach maturity.Overall this process has many steps that can be seperated into two main stages.
To begin with the first step to have an egg is for two mature opposite sex honey bees to mate, after that the femal honey bee lays an egg and in average they lay one to two eggs every three days.Then after nine to ten days the eggs hatch and a nymph shows up.
The second main stage of the honey bee life cycle is the growth of the nymph and in average they moult three times as they grow ,the first time is five days after hatching,following that they moult a second time in 7 days and lastly in 9 days they moult one last time to be considerd as young adult honey bees.After 4 days of growth the honey bees reach the final step of the life cycle wich is maturity.
