How do bee eggs hatch?

Bee eggs hatch when they are fertilized and placed in a suitable environment, typically within a brood cell in the hive. The queen bee lays her eggs in these cells, and after about three days, the eggs develop into larvae. The worker bees then feed the larvae with royal jelly, pollen, and honey. After about six days, the larvae pupate, and within about 12 days, they emerge as adult bees.
