A verdade surpreendente sobre como uma abelha rainha é feita

A bee colony has one queen. How is a queen made? For a long time, people had a simple answer. Worker bees feed a baby bee special food. The food is called royal jelly. People thought the food was the only reason. But a new study shows more. Scientists looked very closely at the nest. Future queens grow in special rooms. The rooms look like little peanuts. Young worker bees build these rooms. They use soft wax. They keep the rooms warm and wet. They take care of the baby all the time. A queen and a worker start the same way. But the queen grows bigger. She also lives much longer. So a queen is not only born. The whole colony builds her together.
