A male or drone bees usually do a bit of bad press, and women often how are you poor creatures deficiencies as a representative of the male sex in general, he said.
Early life for drones
For a drone in the life of his mother ‘The Queen’ has to decide in an unfertilized egg, so this poor orphan of life, or for more technical “haploid” funds are starting to sit. Maybe it’s the pure line, the drone that leads you to believe that he is a prince among his sisters humble worker, who was as a result of a wild party “ pairing her mother, the Queen visited in his youth reckless .
Before the queen can lay eggs of drones, workers have to disturb the way of uniform cell structure created in the comb of the hive, a cell that is slightly larger than that of young women working necessary preparation, like the drone in the recreation cell for 3 days for a young worker, and more.
The drone eggs on day 3 hatch into a larva, like all the worker bee’s eggs. The drone larva passes of 7 days for the larval stage (6 days a worker bee) during this time feeds on pollen and nectar mix of their adult sisters. Drone larvae after 7 days it becomes a pupa. The cell is then limited by the bees wax worker and drone pupa remains there for 14 days (12 days of a worker bee) emerging as a fully trained adult bees honey drones on day 24
Adult Life
The ringing of his cell-derived adult instead of a newborn adult working, does not clean his cell birth and then launch the new care laid eggs and larvae, but is the worker bees to feed. As an adult never eats buzz throughout their lives and never goes out looking for nectar or pollen, or the construction of the hive.
The role of unmanned aircraft in a lifetime is to find a queen without a trailer and pass on their genes. Drones once their wings are strong enough for daily flights out of pairing, hoping to find a partner.
A drone’s eyes are much larger than a worker bee, which helps you tune your aim in her nuptial flight. He also has a larger body with belly fat, the latter, of course, maintained by his sisters work hard ..
Since the worker bee sting is a modified ovipositor (an organ that egg laying), the drones are, in contrast to the female worker bees do not defend the hive.
Death
As a result of his comfortable life of a drone up to 90 days, compared with 42 days of an employee. However, the buzz of luck in love, he will never return to their prey, but to die on the wing, like the penis and threw it down with the stomach tissue of the body during mating.
All drones still alive in the hive in late fall is not allowed to see his days in quiet satisfaction. But it is attacked and thrown out of the hive by the workers and left the death, since male bees do not hibernate.
