The diagram illustrates the evolution process of the honey bee.
Six main stages are shown on the diagram and it takes about 34-36 days to complete the life cycle completely. Laying eggs are carried out by female honey bees, after going through several stages, bees achieve becoming mature.
At the first stage of the process, it can be seen that 1 or 2 eggs are laid by females each 3 days. After the next 9-10 days, bees hatch from eggs as a nymph. At the third stage in the evolution process, honey bees experience their first moulting process 5 days later.
After 7 days from first moulting, the size of honey bees become a little bigger and they live their second moulting. After that, they moult and become known as young adults 9 days later. Finally, they grow in size and complete their life span successfully as a mature honey bee.
