When do honeybees have babies?

Honeybees don't really have babies in the traditional sense. They have brood, which includes eggs, larvae, and pupae. Here's a breakdown:

* Queen lays eggs: The queen bee is the only female who can lay eggs. She lays them in cells within the honeycomb.

* Eggs hatch into larvae: After a few days, the eggs hatch into larvae.

* Larvae grow and are fed: The worker bees feed the larvae a special food called "royal jelly".

* Larvae pupate: After about a week, the larvae spin a cocoon around themselves and enter the pupal stage.

* Pupae develop: Within the cocoon, the pupae undergo a metamorphosis, transforming into adult bees.

* Adult bees emerge: After about 12 days (for workers), the adult bees emerge from the cells.

So, when do honeybees have brood?

* Year-round in warm climates: In areas with mild winters, honeybees can produce brood throughout the year.

* Seasonal in cooler climates: In colder climates, honeybee brood production is more seasonal. It peaks in the spring and summer when resources are abundant and slows down or stops during the winter.

Important note: Honeybees don't have babies in the typical mammal sense. They go through a complete metamorphosis, with distinct stages of development from egg to adult.
