Journeyman Beekeeper Week Two
Chapter 1, Part Three – Brood Rearing, Food Production, and Colony Behavior (pp. 19-24)
Honey bees are a superorganism in which the division of labor is specialized and in which individuals can’t survive on their own. Individuals in a superorganism function together as a unit. One of the most important functions within a superorganism is care of the brood. The beekeeper should understand the developmental stages of the brood to properly assess the queen’s fecundity.
