The diagram illustrates the life cycle of a honeybee, which typically spans 34 to 36 days. The cycle begins when females lay 1 or 2 eggs every three days. These eggs hatch within 9 to 10 days, giving rise to nymphs.
Overall, there are 6 steps in the life cycle of the honey bee. From the first step when the female lays eggs to when they grow up to a young adult. It takes 34 to 36 days in one life cycle.
Initially, the female honey bee will lay 1 or 2 eggs every three days. Those eggs will hatch after 9 to 10 days. The nymphs undergo three molting stages over 4 days as they grow. After this, they continue developing until they reach the young adult stage.
When the young adult emerged, it took 4 days of growing until they were mature. After that, they will continue a new life cycle of honey bees. In total, it took 34 to 36 days to finish one life cycle of the honey bee.
