The life of a worker bee consists of maintaining and sustaining hundreds of small tasks for the well being of a living bee colony.

During the first three days the workers engage in cleaning the working cells for a sterile environment for the queen to deposit the eggs. And then they watch over the incubation period of the larvae.

During days 4 through 6 the larvae start growing and workers feed them rich food continuously. This food is especially for older population мейд of pollen and honey.

During days 7 through 12 the younger ones have brood quality food and this also is constantly fed.

During days 13 through 18 the females begin their most important work of preparation to convert the nectar to honey.

There is water in nectar and they are dried through the fanning wings of the worker bees. At the same time they also have to deposit wax for the cell structure and begin storing pollen on to the cells.

During days 19 through 21 some of the workers take up the job of security at entry and exit locations.

Now some workers begin to attack invaders like insects, kill and remove them to keep the hive sterile from diseases. Others who are assigned collection of nectar work begin their maiden voyage and learn directions through imprinting.

Beginners in beekeeping will wonder why there are bees circling round and round near the entrance of the hives constantly.

You will learn that this orientation is for learning to fly. This helps them to remember their hive locations through their imprint technology for landmarks and hives.

This begins their life long learning of directional imprinting for longer and longer distances till they are well versed with it.

It is good to remember that workers do not have a life long role for certain tasks. They can take turns to do different tasks as and when needed by the society as a whole.

There are functional arrangements мейд depending on their growth like glands and cannot help in building the hive. They can in this case help flapping their wings to air dry the hive because the sting glands take at least 18 days to be functional.

The life span of a worker varies. In hot summer climate they have much food to collect as the flowers are blooming all over. They work very hard and so live only up to 6 weeks. In winter they hardly leave the hive and very little foraging is done if any. So they can live for 6-9 months.
