How does a fully developed honey bee make its way out of the brood cell?

A fully developed honey bee, or imago, emerges from its brood cell by first softening the wax cap using its mandibles. Once the cap is removed, the bee uses its legs and body to push itself out of the cell. This process can involve wriggling and maneuvering to break free from the confines of the cell. After emerging, the new bee typically cleans itself and begins its role within the hive.
