A honeybee’s tongue — or proboscis 🐝 — is a tiny, straw-like tool built for sipping nectar, tasting, slurping honey and even grooming! When extended, it’s about 6.5 mm long, perfect for reaching deep into flowers, then folds up neatly under the head. #beesarecool #shotoniphone #macrobees #slowmotion #honeybee #honeybee #beetongue #beefact | Macro Bees

How coo are bee tongues! It’s called a proboscis. The tip of her tongue is covered in 10,000 bristles that help her lap up nectar and honey. 🐝💛😱 #beesarecool | Macro Bees

The life cycle of honeybees consists of four main stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.Egg Stage: A queen bee lays eggs in honeycomb cells. Each egg is tiny, about the size of a pinhead, and it remains in this stage for about three days.Larva Stage: After hatching, the egg becomes a larva. Worker bees feed the larvae with royal jelly initially, and then worker bees and drones receive a mix of pollen and honey. This stage lasts about six days.Pupa Stage: The larva spins a cocoon and becomes a pupa

Honey bees develop in four distinct life cycle phases: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The total development time varies a bit among the three castes of bees, but the basic miraculous process is the same: 24 days for drones, 21 days for worker bees, and 16 days for queens.
