Berth - Baby Queen Bee

My name is Berth and I am a new Queen Bee. I am still learning how to do my job really well. Every day my job is to lay eggs in the cells of the honeycomb hive chamber. I sometimes lay them to high in the chamber. I sometimes don’t put enough rich larvae material in to fill up the chamber. But I try very hard to do my work perfectly. After all its my one special job. Like in all the other hives I am the only Queen Bee and the only one able to lay the new eggs. I have to work very hard to keep my colony stocked with new bees. I have to decide if I am laying Drone or Worker Bee eggs. Drones are the Boy Bees that grow from fertilized eggs and can go onto help other Queens produce more eggs. Workers are the girl Bees that do all the real work in collecting Nectar and turning it into honey. Many Bees need to work very hard at our jobs, lucky we love our work.
